DPA - ST2012 Compact Cardioid Stereo pair

The DPA ST2012 stands out for its ability to capture sounds with exceptional precision. Whether you play electric guitar, piano or percussion, these pencil microphones offer superior transient response, capturing the most delicate sounds with great fidelity.
They far outperform dynamic microphones, making them ideal for instruments producing high frequencies. You will therefore benefit from impeccable sound quality during your performances on stage.

With the 2012 pair, you will benefit from a uniform directivity, reducing unwanted noise from surrounding instruments. This set of microphones ensures high gain before the onset of feedback, facilitating the work of sound engineers. The cardioid capsule, combined with a flat off-axis response, allows ambient sounds to be captured naturally and attenuated, thus improving the overall quality of the sound performance on stage.

The DPA ST2012 also excels at handling high sound pressure levels (SPL), with a maximum peak before saturation at 156 dB, perfect for high-output instruments, such as drums, electric guitars or brass.
