ST4006C Stereo Pair with 4006C Compact Omnis

Five year warranty

  • carefully matched microphones
  • compact size and natural sound
  • full-bodied sound from a small-bodied mic
  • PeliTM Case transportation and protection

Wherever a small, lightweight, inconspicuous microphone for top-quality recording is required, the compact design and clean, transparent sound of our versatile 4006C makes it the perfect choice. Particularly popular as A-B stereo pairs in concert halls where quality recordings can sometimes be compromised by classic architecture, the 4006C’s can be mounted, hung or concealed to create clean, transparent recordings.

The DPA ST4006C is a complete DPA 4006C Stereo Pair with two carefully factory-matched omni microphones. Even though the standard tolerances on DPA Reference Standards are extremely low, a stereo match is even closer.

The specially selected DPA 4006C microphones are matched within ±0.5 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity. The maximum phase response difference is 5°.

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

Included in this kit
Two carefully matched 4006C omni microphones, sturdy PeliTM case, holders, grids and windscreens.

 

Accessories

You may be interested in combining the ST4006C with:

SBS0400 Modular Stereo Boom w. Shock Mounts

The lightweight SBS0400 stereo boom addresses the need for quick and flexible ways to switch between stereo principles like AB, XY and ORTF. A central base with rotary joint allows the microphones to be angled equally. SBS0400 has hooks for suspending the boom in wires. The standard length is 40 cm (1.3 ft) but the boom can be further extended. Includes two SM1500 shock mounts (also available as SB0400 without shock mounts).

UA0836 Stereo Boom

The legendary, precision handcrafted DPA stereo boom for accurate and repeatable positioning. Has distance markings in centimeters and typical angle offset markings on holder bases. Can be stand mounted or ceiling suspended. Length: 54 cm. Also available as UA0837 without holders.

D3 Decca Tree and S5 Surround Mount

The D3 Decca Tree and S5 Surround Mount are highly versatile and stylish microphone mounts. They provide extreme flexibility due to their unique building block design. The mounts allow for numerous configurations while providing visual elegance for fixed installations and easy transportation for location recordings.

Microphone grids 

Three different grids are supplied with the 4006C. An optional fourth one, the UA0777 Nose Cone, makes the 4006C perfectly omnidirectional at all angles.

SM1500 Shock Mount, Modular

The SM1500 is a modular double pole construction on an adjustable mic stand base. Use this mount to decouple vibrations to your microphone.

TIP: Combined with the MB4000 Magnet Base, the SM1500 and 4006C make a good solution for on-frame mounting inside the piano with closed lid or on short stick for high isolation.
