Three Variants:
There are three variants of the DPA Compact Cardioid:
The 4021 has a side-mounted cable, 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 40 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) together with the ultra-small design makes the 4021 the perfect choice whenever high definition audio and insignificant size is paramount.
The 4022 has a rear-mounted cable for situations where the microphone needs to be suspended from its own cable or mounted on a stand. The linear frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) together with the ultra-small design makes the 4022 the perfect choice for all kinds of spot miking situations in TV studios or concert halls where near invisibility has to go hand in hand with studio quality audio.
The 4023 has a standard LEMO connector for simple and safe mounting and removal of the microphone and is designed for usage together with the elegant and flexible Flamingo Series floor stands. The linear on-axis frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) together with the extremely smooth off-axis response makes the 4023 the optimal choice in live situations in front of both the non-professional and the professional performer. The Microphone is supplied with a 3 m (10 ft) cable LEMO to XLR.
