5006-11A Surround Kit with 4006A omnis and 4011A cardioids
- Three + two carefully matched microphones
- Decca Tree front + cardioids rear
- Specially useful as orchestral main pair
- PeliTM Case transportation and protection
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.
Included in this kit
Carefully matched microphones, sturdy PeliTM case, holders, grids, and windscreens.
Accessories

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).
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.
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 4006A. An optional fourth one, the UA0777 Nose Cone, makes the 4006A perfectly omnidirectional at all angles.
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 4006A make a good solution for on-frame mounting inside the piano with closed lid or on short stick for high isolation.
