DPA 4021

4021 description:

The Type 4021 is a phantom powered (P48) condenser microphone using the same type of cartridge as the famous Type 4011, but is pre-amplified using a built-in ultra-small thick-film mounted FET- preamplifier. The result is the world's smallest studio quality cardioid condenser microphone, that runs directly on phantom power with no external preamplifier needed.

The 4021 has its cable (5m as standard) side-mounted, which mechanically is perfect for situations where the microphone needs to be mounted directly on the musical instrument or on a stand. The linear frequency response from 40Hz to 20kHz (2dB)together with the ultra-small design makes the 4021 the perfect choice whenever high definition audio and insignificant size is paramount.
