DPA Microphones ST2015 Compact Wide-Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Stereo Pair)

Versatile Wide-Cardioid Stereo Microphones for Live and Studio Use
The DPA Microphones ST2015 Stereo Pair is a powerful solution for capturing spacious, natural sound from a variety of instruments in both live and studio environments. Whether used as drum overheads, for grand pianos, horn sections, or large percussion instruments, these microphones provide an accurate and detailed representation of the original sound.

Wide-Cardioid Pickup for Precise and Spacious Sound
Each 2015 microphone features a wide-cardioid polar pattern that delivers a balance between direct sound and ambient room pickup. This pattern provides 3 dB of attenuation at 90° and 6 dB at 135°, making it well-suited for ensemble recordings, orchestral performances, and drum overheads. It allows for spacious, natural stereo imaging while maintaining excellent isolation from unwanted noise.

Handles High SPL for Close or Distant Miking
Built to handle sound pressure levels up to 147 dB, with peak SPL handling up to 153 dB at 10% THD, these microphones can be placed close to loud sources like drum kits, brass sections, and amplified instruments without distortion. They also perform exceptionally well in distant miking applications, ensuring clarity and detail when capturing a room’s natural ambiance.

Accurate Frequency Response for Natural Reproduction
The 17mm electret-condenser capsule provides a flat on-axis frequency response, complemented by a gentle presence boost between 5 and 15 kHz. This ensures that every instrument is captured with precision, enhancing clarity without artificial coloration. When placed approximately 11.8 inches from the source, the microphones maintain a linear frequency response, making them an excellent choice for critical recordings.

Reliable and Durable for Touring and Stage Applications
Designed to withstand the challenges of live performance, the ST2015 microphones feature reinforced construction that ensures long-term reliability. Their compact form factor allows for easy placement even in crowded setups, making them a go-to choice for touring musicians, engineers, and live sound professionals.

Complete Kit with Essential Accessories
The ST2015 stereo pair comes with two professional-grade microphone holders for secure mounting and two foam windscreens to minimize wind and handling noise. The package also includes a foam-lined Peli case for safe transport and storage, ensuring that these microphones are always protected when on the road or in the studio.
