DPA 4090 Omnidirectional Microphone

Categories: Microphones
SKU: 4090

The 4090 is a small-diaphragm omnidirectional condenser microphone built for instrument miking in the studio and on stage. Its even pickup and high SPL handling make it equally useful for close-miking acoustic instruments and for sound system measurement work. A 5.4 mm pre-polarised capsule delivers linear response across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz band, adding minimal colouration to whatever it’s pointed at.

Capsule and Response

The omnidirectional pattern avoids the proximity bass boost that directional mics can introduce at close range.

Build and Handling

The mic is housed in a compact, tapered body roughly 12 cm long, making it easy to place tightly around acoustic guitars, strings, piano and wind instruments without getting in a performer's way.

Applications

Instrument miking for recording, live sound and sound system alignment or testing.
