The DPA 2006A Twin Diaphragm Omni Microphone is part of
the Reference Standard Series and is built around the acclaimed DPA
4006 omni microphone, due to it's sound character and industrial
design. The 2006A is great for miking and recording orchestra,
acoustic piano, guitar, wind instruments, vocals and choirs.
The 2006A from DPA features a Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology.
This makes the 2006A well balanced for acoustic authenticity and
true character. The capsules are loaded to the supreme Reference
Standard preamps instead of the tiny miniature FET preamp from the
miniature mics, offering even more air and precision.
In a 2006 capsule two opposite facing miniature capsules are
custom re-built into a double diaphragm, one-capsule composition.
This combines the advantages of small capsules (fast impulse
response and large frequency bandwidth) with lower inherent noise
achieved from a larger diaphragm area.
