The Pencil Mic Is Mightier Than the Sword
OK, that might not be entirely true. However, the DPA 2015 Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone is one seriously mighty mic - especially in this matched stereo pair configuration! First, their rugged and thick construction, integrated XLR connectors, and cutting-edge mic holders can handle the toughest abuse from the most demanding live stage applications. Secondly, they’ve got incredible SPL handling with a max of 153dB peak. Finally, they sound great on many sound sources, but the 2015 matched stereo pair are particularly excellent on large instruments with wide playing surfaces like pianos, mallet percussion, and when used as drum set overheads. Our Sweetwater live sound engineers praise the natural sound from their flat frequency responses and off-axis rejections that allow the perfect amount of musical bleed to slip through. This matched stereo pair of DPA 2015 Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphones also comes with two DPA DUA0220 Foam Windscreens for outdoor applications and an attractive DPA KE2012 Zip Case for safe and reliable transport. No matter how you slice it, the DPA 2015 matched stereo pair, with their wide cardioid polar pattern, are wonderful pencil mics that belong in your weapon rack.
