DPA Microphones APE30RS Acoustic Pressure Equalizer

Enhance Your Microphone’s Frequency Response with Acoustic Precision
The DPA APE30RS Acoustic Pressure Equalizer is a specialized 30mm ball attachment designed for the DPA 4006A and 4006C microphones. This innovative accessory modifies the microphone’s on-axis and off-axis frequency response, enhancing presence, clarity, and spatial focus in recordings. Whether used for vocal performances, instrument capture, or orchestral recordings, the APE30RS provides an optimized acoustic environment that brings out the full potential of your microphone.

Upper-Midrange and High-Frequency Boost for Greater Presence
By introducing a controlled pressure build-up around the microphone diaphragm, the APE30RS naturally boosts upper-midrange and high frequencies without altering the low end. This enhancement improves vocal intelligibility and helps instruments cut through dense mixes, making it an invaluable tool for rhythm-heavy genres and broadcast applications where clarity is critical.

Improved Directionality for Focused Sound Capture
This acoustic pressure equalizer not only enhances high frequencies but also increases the microphone’s directionality at higher frequencies. By reducing off-axis coloration and unwanted reflections, the APE30RS ensures a cleaner, more focused sound capture in reverberant spaces, making it ideal for live recordings and studio applications where precision is essential.

Designed for Use with Omnidirectional Microphones
The APE30RS is specifically engineered for omnidirectional pressure microphones, taking advantage of diffraction techniques to manipulate the surrounding sound field. By modifying the acoustic environment, it allows users to achieve different tonal characteristics that would otherwise require costly microphone replacements or extensive post-processing.

Achieve Vintage Microphone Characteristics with Modern Technology
For symphonic and classical music recordings, the APE30RS offers a tonal coloration reminiscent of legendary vintage microphones. This allows recording engineers to capture a more natural and historically accurate sound without the need for additional equalization. By emulating the response of classic mics, this accessory provides an authentic and balanced audio profile.

Compatible with Classic and Modern DPA Microphones
The APE30RS is fully compatible with the modular series DPA 4006A and 4006C microphones. Additionally, it serves as a direct substitute for the former L30B model, ensuring backward compatibility with legacy DPA microphones such as the 4003, 4006, and 4006-TL. This makes it an excellent choice for engineers and professionals looking to maintain continuity in their audio setups while benefiting from modern advancements in acoustic processing.
