DPA 4052 Compact Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone

4052 Compact Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone description:

The Type 4052 is an omnidirectional phantom powered (P48) condenser microphone using the same type of cartridge as the famous Type 4006, but is preamplified using a build-in ultra-small thick-film mounted FET- preamplifier, which enables the cartridge to be mounted on a extremely compact microphone housing. The 4052 has its cable mounted behind the microphone axis for situations where the microphone needs to be suspended from its own cable.

The linear on-axis frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz (2dB) together with the ultra- small design makes Type 4052 the perfect choice for all kinds of on-camera or on-stage use where high definition audio is of high priority. These Compact Omnis are extremely popular as A-B Stereo pairs in concert halls where the beautiful architecture has to go hand in hand with quality recordings.
