DPA 2012 Compact Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Demo Deal)
Cardioid small-diaphragm condenser microphone featuring a 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response and maximum SPL peak of 156 dB making it perfect for live sound close-miking applications

Product Description

The DPA 2012 Compact Cardioid Condenser Microphone is the best all-around, general -prupose mic that you can find to cover a wide range of close-miking needs on the live stage. It is a robust and reliable condenser mic, best for single instrument pickup. Its specifically powerful characteristics make it an extremely flexible mic that will shine on many instruments, particularly those in the high-frequency range. For those looking for studio-fidelity quality on-stage the DPA 2012 is the perfect solution!

DURABLE, REINFORCED CONSTRUCTION

The 2012 is constructed to withstand rough handling on a hectic live stage. It has a thicker, more robust body construction of brass that is very durable and known for its corrosion resistance and tolerance against metal fatigue. In addition to the heavy-duty materials used, the surfaces of the mic handle and grille are treated with a protective black chrome finish, which ensures more graceful aging.

UNMATCHED TRANSIENT RESPONSE

The 2012, is a professional condenser mic, making it the best choice for those instruments that produce high frequencies. It has a far better transient response than any dynamic microphone, which allows it to pick up the most delicate sound with tremendous accuracy.

UNIFORM CARDIOID DIRECTIONALITY

The 2012 has a cardioid capsule with DPA’s famously flat off-axis response. Besides a high gain-before-feedback, this characteristic makes it easier for sound engineers to handle bleed from other instruments at close proximity. The 2012 picks up off-axis sounds in a very natural and attenuated way.

OUTSTANDING SPL HANDLING

The 2012 can cope with both extremely high SPLs as well as capture very delicate sounds. With a max SPL, peak before clipping of 156 dB, the 2012, works well on many different instruments and can handle the loudest drums, guitars, horns and more.
