DPK2015 Piano Stereo Kit

This is a complete stereo kit featuring two 2015 Wide Cardioid Microphones. The mics are carefully selected within ±1 dB sensitivity @1 kHz.

DPK2015 is often described by professional sound engineers as slightly “sweeter” with excellent blend, a natural stereo image and a surprisingly full sound in several placements. Due to the wide pick-up pattern, it is valued for its fast and easy yet flexible mounting solution.

• Signature DPA sound – transparent and detailed, with high fidelity

• Wide cardioid pickup pattern – homogeneous stereo perspective and ease of placement compared to the narrower cardioid or supercardioid alternatives

• Fast, flexible mounting – for live touring or studio work; inside or outside grand piano, lid open or closed

• Compact protective case – designed for intuitive and fast setup

• Shock-isolation and vibration control via included mounts – keeping stability and reducing unwanted structure borne noise

Although the DPK2015 Piano Stereo Kit is designed specifically for grand piano, 2015 Wide Cardioid Microphones are highly versatile and can be used effectively on many other instruments and ensembles. The stereo pair performs particularly well on full drum kits (as overheads), horn sections, vibraphones, xylophones, large marimbas and other wide acoustic sources — providing excellent imaging and a natural, balanced sound.

2015 Wide Cardioid Microphone

The 2015 Wide Cardioid Microphone’s wider pick-up pattern offers an innovative way to pick up the spacious and natural sound of larger instruments or groups of instruments. When recording instrument groups with complex radiation patterns, the wide cardioid design covers a greater sound angle. The 2015s compact design, combined with its wide pickup area makes it an unobtrusive solution for live stage placement.
