Frequently Asked Questions

The 4006As offer a more neutral and transparent sound, while the KM 184s have a slightly warmer character. The DPA's build quality and durability are also noticeably superior.
Being omnidirectional, they pick up a lot of room ambience, so a well-treated space is crucial for optimal results. Careful mic placement is key to manage reflections.
A clean, low-noise preamp with ample headroom is essential to avoid introducing any unwanted coloration. Think DPA's own Stage series or similar high-quality options.
