“I've been using the d: vote ™ 4099 instrument microphones for many years, especially for the cello and double bass. I really like them because they are so small, light and easy to install. There are many different, fantastic accessories available that are non-invasive, even for instruments as small as the violin. When it comes to sound, they bring out the true nature of an acoustic instrument and provide a deep, full, low bass that you want to hear. ” - Simone 'Zeta' Saccomandi, FOH sound engineer from the Italian band LE DIV4S.

A bit about supercardioids

A supercardioid microphone is similar to a cardioid microphone - it is most sensitive to sound coming from the front and least sensitive to the rear. Supercardioid microphones have a much narrower sensitivity angle - which makes them even more focused than "normal" cardioids. The off-axis sound will be more or less colored and muffled - and due to the narrow focus angle, the area of ​​the suppressed sound is significantly widened. However, the unique technology of the DPA capsule construction avoids the colorization of the sound coming from the sides and rear of the microphone and only reduces the sensitivity of the angles and therefore offers the perfect soundstage. The attenuation level depends on the exact specification of the microphone.
