The DPA 3506A is a complete stereo kit with two carefully factory-matched phantom powered 4006A Omnidirectional Condenser Microphones. The kit includes mics, windscreens, boom, holders, clips, and much more.

Even though the standard tolerances on our recording mics are already extremely low, a stereo match is even closer. These specially selected 4006A Omnidirectional Microphones are matched within ±0.5 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity.

For reference stereo recording, there is no better choice than a 4006A Omnidirectional Microphone. These omnidirectional condenser microphones are linear and true in character.

DPA's wide and versatile pencil mic series is legendary in the high-end recording and film production industry. Delivering clean, accurate sound, the mics in this series are used by professionals, who understand sound and insist on only using the best.

The 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone

The 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule offers total transparency in any recording situation. It picks up incredible detail and depth of sound. The definition of its high-frequency characteristics across a wide range of instruments is impressive. It offers natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and linear frequency response from 10 to 20 kHz (±2 dB).

The 4006A Omnidirectional Microphone is a flexible solution. Engineers, broadcasters and musicians alike can achieve clean, natural and precise sound reproduction. This mic is ideal for A-B stereo pairs for symphonic concert hall recordings. It also excels on vocals, for close-miking all types of instruments and as an outdoor interview microphone.

The accessories will not produce any phase shift, noise or distortion that would otherwise be introduced by an electrical filter.
