MICROPHONES FOR RECORDING

A studio is a relatively controlled environment, where you often are given a second chance if the result is not completely satisfactory. For that reason your expectations of the result will, of course, also be much higher. That means the desire for clarity, definition and low noise has no upper limit. Recording classical symphonies in a large concert hall setting, has different challenges than recording rhythmic bands in a studio, but still great sound starts with great microphones.

Mics for recording music in a studio

Recording a rock, pop or other rhythmic band playing in the studio presents a unique set of challenges, but with the right microphone you can achieve an excellent result. DPA Microphones gives you the cleanest approach with high SPL handling (ideal for crisp drums and percussion recordings free of distortion parameters) and a sonic signature as close to the original sound source as possible. Nothing is added to the sound.

Our recording microphones have modular capsules and preamplifiers to deliver superior sound for high-quality studio recording situations. The transformerless design ensures extremely low noise and unparalleled off-axis response. The range is wide and provides superb-sounding microphones with any type of pickup pattern required for your specific needs.  Within the series there are a wide variety of capsules including:

  • 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone
  • 4011 Cardioid Microphone
  • 4015 Wide Cardioid Microphone
  • 4041 Large Diaphragm Microphone

For a more affordable studio recording solution, the 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone is a fantastic solution. It has a strong pedigree. Its connection to its big brothers – the original DPA 4000 Series of miniature mics – is immediately audible. It is a premium-class microphone and redefines the term value for money.

Microphones are not instruments, they are recording tools. Authenticity is needed, it is not up for debate how a Stradivarius sounds.

DPA mics for recording in concert halls

Our recording microphones has modular capsules and preamplifiers to deliver superior sound for high-quality studio recording situations. The transformerless design ensures extremely low noise and unparalleled off-axis response.

Using microphone main arrays for stereo or full surround sound is another way to record a symphony. Most orchestras are a self-balancing phenomena – each instrumental part can be heard without the need for additional miking. As well, acoustic reflections and a sense of acoustic space are an important aspect of the sound of an orchestra - just as much as the instruments themselves.

Our recording microphones contains a range of stereo and surround kits that can be used in conjunction with the S5 Surround Mount to capture amazing surround sound recordings of classical symphonies.
