DPA 4041-SP Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

This omnidirectional condense microphone is designed to work in a standard 48 V phantom power environment. It features the same MMC4041 Large Diaphragm Capsule as in the high-voltage alternative, the d:dicate 4041-S, so the mic offers the same superior sound quality, with very slight changes in the specifications. It is a part of the d:dicate Recording Microphones Series.

The diaphragm and housing are both made from stainless steel. This gives the capsule a unique immunity against ambient temperature variations. The precision-made back plate is placed in a quartz insulator for maximum electrical stability. This gives the MMC4041 Large Diaphragm Capsule a unique sensitivity of up to 90 mV/Pa.

The 4041-SP has a frequency response from 10 Hz to 20 kHz with a 4-6 dB soft boost around 8 kHz. Furthermore, the MMC4041 Large Diaphragm Capsule has extremely low self-noise of 7 dB(A) with the MMP4000-S. It also has enhanced SPL handling capability of up to 144 dB SPL before clipping occurs.

The MMC4041 Large Diaphragm Microphone Capsule can be unscrewed from the MMP4000-SP preamplifier, which allows you to exchange the preamplifier.
