DPA 4041-T2 Omnidirectional Microphone with T2 Tube Preamplifier

4041-T2 Omnidirectional Microphone with T2 Tube Preamplifier description:

The DPA 4041-T2 is an omnidirectional microphone that uses the 24 mm (1 in) Modular Microphone Cartridge MMC4041 with the MMP4000-T2 Tube Preamplifier which offers a slight musical coloration of the recording.

The cartridge MMC4041 can be unscrewed from the preamplifier which allows for the exchange of the preamplifier module. The frequency response from 10 Hz to 20 kHz with a 4-6 dB soft boost around 8 kHz matches the response of the highly acclaimed DPA 4040 Hybrid Microphone. The 4041-T2 is powered via the standard HMA5000 Microphone Amplifier (not included with the 4041-T2), a microphone system that offers a totally transformerless audio path with an exceptionally low noise floor of maximum 10 dB(A) and a SPL handling capability of 144 dB SPL peak.
