DPA Microphones DD0254 Close-Miking Frequency Grid

Precision-engineered grid for close-miking applications
The DPA DD0254 Close-Miking Grid is a specially designed attachment for the DPA 4003 and 4006 microphone capsules. This trapezoid-shaped grid optimizes the microphone’s response when capturing sound sources at close range, ensuring a controlled and natural frequency balance. With a soft roll-off at 15 kHz, it maintains clarity while reducing unwanted sibilance and noise, making it an essential accessory for detailed and accurate recording in studio, broadcast, and live performance settings.

Maintains a neutral frequency response
Designed to provide a consistent tonal balance, the DD0254 Grid ensures that frequencies from 10 Hz to 15 kHz remain within ±2 dB of their natural state. This feature is particularly beneficial for recording instruments and vocals at close range, where excessive high frequencies can lead to harshness or distortion. By controlling the frequency response, this grid helps deliver a smooth, transparent sound.

Ideal for professional recording environments
Whether used in a controlled studio environment, a live performance, or a high-pressure broadcast setting, the DD0254 Close-Miking Grid is designed to meet the needs of professional audio engineers. By reducing unwanted resonance and maintaining a stable frequency response, this grid enhances the overall sound quality while preserving the natural characteristics of the recorded source.

Durable construction for long-lasting use
Built with precision and durability in mind, the DD0254 Grid features a high-quality silver finish that not only looks sleek but also withstands the demands of professional use. The robust construction ensures longevity, making it a reliable tool for engineers and musicians who require consistent audio performance.

Optimized for close-proximity recording
For situations where a microphone is placed very close to the source, such as vocal recordings, acoustic instruments, or orchestral applications, the DD0254 helps maintain the intended sonic character. The carefully designed roll-off at higher frequencies prevents unwanted harshness while still capturing the full dynamic range of the performance.
