DPA - New d:dicate Capsules

[VASI]

 

Danish Professional Audio, or DPA, have an excellent reputation for making high quality condenser microphones and have announced new capsules and preamps to form the basis of a new range, called d:dicate. As well as two new capsules – a supercardioid and an omni – DPA have rebranded their Reference Standard series as d:dicate microphones.

 

The new capsules are the MMC4018 supercardioid capsule, which is based on the MMC4018V capsule used in the d:facto range of vocal microphones, and the MMC4007 high-SPL omnidirectional capsule, formerly the 4007.

 

All 4000-series and 2000-series capsules can be used with any of the three available preamps. These are the A pre-amp, B pre-amp that includes low cut and high boost filters, and C pre-amp which is more compact and suitable for discreet mic placement. The new mics and peramps will be available from August, with Reference Standard  series products available immediately.

I posted something about these yesterday on the equipment forum, can't find any more info or specs, though.

 

The MMC4018 could potentially be a useful alternative to Schoeps MK41 and Sennheiser MKH50/8050
