DPA ST2012 Instrument Microphone
DPA 2012 Stereo Pair
Close miking in stereo in an extremely noisy environment is a challenge, but with the 2012 cardioid stereo pair, you can be sure to capture all the details, no matter how high the sound pressure. With a maximum sound pressure level of 156 dB (peak before clipping), the 2012 is suitable for even the loudest instruments.
Durable, reinforced construction
The 2012 is built to withstand the rough-and-tumble of a hectic live stage. It has a thicker, more rugged brass cabinet construction that is highly durable and known for its corrosion resistance and tolerance to metal fatigue. In addition to the rugged materials, the surfaces of the microphone handle and grille are finished with a protective black chrome coating for better aging resistance.
Unsurpassed transient response
The 2012 is a professional condenser microphone, making it the best choice for instruments that produce high frequencies. It has far better transient response than any dynamic microphone, allowing it to pick up even the subtlest sounds with tremendous precision.
Excellent SPL handling
The 2012 can handle extremely high sound pressure levels as well as record very fine sounds. With a maximum SPL before overload of 156 dB, the 2012 is suitable for a wide range of instruments and can pick up the loudest drums, guitars, horns and more.
