DPA 4006-TLX 4006 - TL Upgrade

4006-TLX 4006 - TL Upgrade description:

The DPA 4006-TLX 4006 - TL upgrade. Worthwhile upgrade for all transformer based 4006 owners.

The DPA 4006-TLX is an upgrade for your 4006 to the 4006-TL, a new version of the classic mic with transformerless preamplifier and new state-of-the-art components. The 4006-TL builds on the same capsule and acoustical design of the original while being equipped with a transformerless preamplifier, as opposed to the transformer technology in the 4006, and is powered via a standard 48 V phantom power supply. This design increases the sensitivity and provides an extended low frequency handling capability (15 Hz to 20 kHz ±2 dB). Under the upgrade programme you will trade-in your 4006 and receive a factory-based retrofitting to the DPA 4006-TL with transformerless preamplifier, close-miking grid, DPA 4006-TL type ring, calibration chart and new mic case. The 4006-TL upgrade programme provides many 4006 fans with the chance to upgrade inexpensively to an even cleaner approach to authentic sound reproduction.
