DPA - ST2015 Wide Cardioid Stereo Pair

The DPA ST2015 stands out for its ability to capture a wide soundstage thanks to its wide cardioid pattern. Whether for instruments with complex radiation patterns or for groups of instruments, these mics provide extensive sound coverage. Sound engineers will appreciate the flat off-axis response, making it easier to manage unwanted sounds from other nearby instruments. In addition, the ST2015 provides high gain before feedback occurs, ensuring a smooth performance.

Using the DPA ST2015 as overheads for a drum kit allows you to capture a balanced and natural sound from the entire kit. Thanks to their ability to be placed closer than conventional overhead mics, these mics reduce unwanted noise from the stage. Their compact design also ensures a discreet installation, without blocking the view of the action in progress. As a matched stereo pair, these mics guarantee a sensitivity tolerance of +/- 1.5 dB, ensuring consistent and balanced miking.

DPA designed them for flexible use, whether on drums, grand piano, or brass bands. Their ability to capture sounds evenly and naturally, even off-axis, makes them ideal for large instruments such as vibraphones, xylophones, or marimbas. The wide cardioid pattern allows for ample sound capture, covering a larger area while maintaining exceptional sound quality.
