DPA Microphones 4007

The High-SPL Reference Microphone 4007 is a phantom powered (P48) close miking specialist with an extremely linear on-axis frequency response from 20 Hz to 40 kHz (±2 dB).

This high-performance condenser microphone has an unbeatable dynamic range of 124 dB from the noise floor to 1% THD and is capable of handling up to 155 dB SPL peak before clipping occurs.

The 4007 has through its total acoustical transparency and ultra-high SPL handling capability gained a reputation as being the first choice for picking up drums, percussion and brass instruments, whenever the natural and non-distorted result is paramount.

4007 is, due to its linear qualities, also used as reference microphone in both microphone comparisons and acoustic test equipment.
