DPA Microphones ST2012 Compact Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Stereo Pair)

Versatile Stereo Microphone Pair for Live and Studio Applications
The DPA Microphones ST2012 Stereo Pair is designed to deliver precise, natural sound reproduction for a variety of instruments in both live and studio environments. Whether capturing the sharp attack of percussion, the smooth resonance of strings, or the full-bodied tone of brass, these microphones provide exceptional clarity and durability.

Superior Performance for High-SPL Instruments
Each 2012 microphone is engineered to handle peak sound pressure levels up to 156 dB, making them ideal for close-miking loud sources such as drums, electric guitars, and horn sections. With an accurate transient response, they capture every nuance of an instrument’s dynamics, from subtle details to powerful attacks.

Consistent Cardioid Polar Pattern for Minimal Bleed
The uniform cardioid pickup pattern ensures focused sound capture, reducing unwanted background noise and feedback on stage. This design makes them perfect for live performances, allowing for clear and isolated sound reproduction even in high-energy environments with multiple instruments.

Detailed and Transparent Sound Reproduction
The 17mm electret-condenser capsule in each microphone provides a flat on-axis frequency response with a light presence boost between 5 and 12 kHz. This allows for a natural yet enhanced tonal balance, ensuring that instrumental performances are accurately reproduced without coloration or distortion.

Durable Construction for Touring and Stage Use
Built with reinforced materials and a rugged structure, these microphones are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of live performances. The compact design allows for flexible placement, making them easy to position on even the most crowded stages.

Complete Kit with Essential Accessories
The ST2012 stereo pair comes with two professional-quality mic holders for stable positioning and two foam windscreens to minimize wind noise. Each microphone is equipped with a standard 3-pin XLR connector for compatibility with mixing consoles and preamps, operating on 48V phantom power.
