ST4006C Stereo Pair
This kit is similar to the ST4006A Stereo Pair, using the same MMC4006 Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule to gain its amazing sound. Whenever a small, lightweight, inconspicuous microphone for top-quality recording is required, a d:dicate™ 4006C Omnidirectional Microphone is the right choice. They come as a hand-matched pair that offers the truest capture of stereo sound available.
4006 Omnidirectional Stereo Pair
Even though the standard tolerances on our d:dicate™ microphones are extremely low, a stereo match is even closer. These specially selected d:dicate™ 4006 Microphones are matched within ±0.5 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity. The pair comes in a heavy-duty Peli™ Case for safe transportation and easy access to the microphones and accessories.
The d:dicate™ 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone
The 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone offers total transparency in any recording situation. It picks up incredible detail and depth of sound. The definition of its high-frequency characteristics across a wide range of instruments is impressive. It offers natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and extremely linear frequency response from 10 to 20 kHz (±2 dB).
A selection of optional accessories can be purchased, including acoustic pressure equalizers, a nose cone and interchangeable protection grids. These accessories can acoustically transform the mic. By changing grids, it is possible to gain several unique frequency responses and directional characteristics from the mic. Furthermore, these accessories will not produce any phase shift, noise or distortion that would otherwise be introduced by an electrical filter.
