DPA Microphones MMC4041 Large Diaphragm Capsule

High-Precision Large Diaphragm Capsule for Professional Audio
The DPA MMC4041 Large Diaphragm Capsule is a premium omnidirectional microphone cartridge designed for high-end recording, broadcast, and professional sound applications. As an integral component of the modular microphone system, it is fully compatible with the MMP4000-S (Solid State) and MMP4000-SP (Solid State Phantom Power) preamplifiers. This capsule is engineered to capture every sonic detail with remarkable precision, making it a top choice for studios, orchestras, and demanding live environments.

Superior Stainless Steel Construction for Unmatched Durability
Built to withstand fluctuations in ambient temperature, the MMC4041 features a diaphragm and housing constructed from high-quality stainless steel. This ensures long-term stability and consistent performance, even in challenging environments. Whether recording in a controlled studio setting or a dynamic live performance, this capsule delivers reliable, distortion-free audio capture.

Precision-Engineered Back Plate for Electrical Stability
At the heart of the MMC4041 is a meticulously designed back plate, secured within a quartz insulator for optimal electrical stability. The capsule is polarized with 190V through the HMA5000 Microphone Amplifier, resulting in an extraordinary sensitivity of up to 90mV/Pa. This allows the microphone to pick up even the most delicate sound sources with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, and ambient soundscapes.

Extended Frequency Response with Natural High-Frequency Boost
Covering a wide frequency range from 10Hz to 20kHz, the MMC4041 provides an accurate and natural representation of sound. It features a gentle 4-6 dB soft boost around 8kHz, closely resembling the tonal characteristics of the renowned Type 4040 Hybrid Microphone. This subtle enhancement adds presence and definition to recordings without artificial coloration, ensuring a transparent and detailed sound profile.

Ultra-Low Self-Noise for Crystal-Clear Recordings
The MMC4041 boasts an impressively low self-noise rating of just 7dB(A) when paired with the MMP4000-S preamplifier. This exceptionally low noise floor allows for pristine audio capture, even in quiet environments where background noise must be minimized. Whether used for voiceover work, field recording, or high-resolution music production, this capsule ensures an uncompromised signal-to-noise ratio.

High SPL Handling for Versatile Performance
Capable of handling up to 144dB SPL before clipping, the MMC4041 excels in capturing loud sound sources with clarity and detail. This makes it well-suited for applications such as orchestral recordings, live performances, and cinematic sound design where dynamic range and sound pressure levels vary significantly.
