These Compact Wide Cardioids are the perfect choice whenever high definition audio and insignificant size are paramount.

DPA's Compact Wide Cardiods are a great choice for grand piano, guitar, marimba, percussion set-ups or as support mic. They deliver pure, clear sound and are available in three variants: rear cable, side cable or connector. These microphones are phantom powered (P48) and use the same type of cartridge as the DPA 4015 but preamplified using a build-in ultra-small thick-film mounted FET-preamplifier.
