DPA Microphones ST2012 Compact Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Stereo Pair)

Two Versatile Mics for the Live Stage

Sound engineers, producers, and musicians looking for a workhorse stereo microphone pair to capture precise, natural sound from a wide range of instruments will be delighted by the ST2012 from DPA, two cardioid condenser mics that are built to survive the rigors of live stage performances, day in and day out. Designed to be placed close to instruments, each 2012 can handle peak SPLs up to 156 dB and features a smooth, uniform cardioid polar pattern that offers a consistent response across the entire frequency range, helping to ensure sounds are accurately reproduced.

A Stereo Cardioid Pair Ready for a Variety of Instruments

• The stereo pairs for DPA's 2000 series pencil microphones are selected with ±1.5 dB sensitivity tolerance.
• Equally at home in the orchestra pit, on a live stage, or in the studio, the 2012 is a versatile mic you can use to capture detailed, natural sound from numerous sources, including guitars, horns, percussion, and more.
• The microphone is designed for close-miking and offers a linear frequency response at about 11.8 inches from the source.
• A flat on-axis frequency response with a light presence boost in the 5 to 12 kHz range provides faithful reproduction of instrumental performances.
• The 17mm electret-condenser capsule offers an outstanding transient response to deliver rich, expressive sound and can handle peak SPLs up to 156 dB with a 10% THD, allowing you to use it on loud sources, including snare drums as well as electric guitar and bass cabinets.
• The uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture in front of the mic and ensures that any bleed from other instruments is a truly accurate reflection of the original sound.

Durable, Performance-Ready Build Quality

• Live performance stages can be difficult environments for equipment, especially for a go-to mic that you'll use on every show.
• Each 2012 is built with a thick and robust structure that can stand up to the everyday abuses of touring and performing, with extra-durable surfaces for more graceful aging.
• The compact size makes it easier to optimally place the mics, even on cramped stages packed with equipment.
• The included professional quality holders provide a firm grip to keep the mics in place; foam windscreens are also provided.
• Connect each mic's standard 3-pin XLR connector to a wide variety of mixing boards and preamplifiers and power the electret-condenser capsule with 48V phantom power.
