DPA 5006-11A

The DPA 5006-11A is a complete surround kit combining three DPA 4006A and two 4011A, carefully factory-matched to achieve full precision. Even though the standard tolerances on DPA Reference Standard Mics are extremely low, the surround match is even closer.

The specially selected DPA 4006A microphones are matched within ±0.5 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity. The maximum phase response difference is 5. The 4011A's are matched within ±1 dB.

The natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and extremely linear frequency response from 10 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) of the microphones make the 4006As the perfect choice for all AB Stereo, Decca Tree or surround main array recordings. The precise reproduction, total transparency and natural-sounding clarity of a DPA 4006A microphone will provide you with a lifetime of satisfying listening.

The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of microphone/accessory inlays.
