This kit contains a complete stereo pair; two handpicked d:dicate™ 2006 Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphones, selected on sensitivity within ±1.5 dB. The mics deliver precise sound and true tone. These mics are ideal for use with orchestra, acoustic piano, guitar, wind instruments and choirs. The two 2006s comes with Clips and Windscreens all packed in a Peli™ Case.
The d:dicate™ 2006 Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone
Inside the MMC2006 Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Capsule, two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom rebuilt. They are placed into a double-diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. These capsules provide fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth.
The capsules are loaded to the supreme d:dicate™ Microphone series preamplifiers instead of the tiny miniature FET ones. This gives the sound more air and precision.
Comparisons with its big brother, the iconic 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone, are inevitable. The relationship between the two can be clearly heard. The 2000 series performs as well as more exclusive microphones. It is a premium-class microphone and redefines the term value for money.
ST2006C Stereo Pair
Together with the MMP-C preamp, the ST2006C makes a small, lightweight and inconspicuous main AB stereo pair. The two 2006C comes with Clips and Windscreens all packed in a Peli™ Case.
The mics deliver precise sound and true tone. Meeting classic architecture and installation requirements, these mics can be mounted, hung or concealed to create clean, transparent recordings.
