DPA Microphones 4023
The DPA Type 4023 "Compact" condenser mic uses the same type of cartridge as the famous B&K 4011. This mic has an internal ultra-small thick-film mounted FET-preamplifier. This mic has no remote electronics!
The Compact series has many cable and connector options. The Type 4023 has a standard LEMO-connector. If you have watched any award shows on television, you have no doubt seen this mic attached to an optional Flamingo series floor stand via the LEMO connector. Included for testing are a variety of Coincidental Stereo mounting accessories for the 4023.
DPA suggests that this mic is THE option for faithful, non-colored reproduction. This mic is suitable for remote Coincident Stereo recording, low-profile direct miking, etc.
There are many cable, connection and hardware options available.
