Complete Surround Microphone Kit for Orchestral and Studio Recording
The DPA 5006-11A d:mension Surround Kit is a precision-matched microphone set designed for professional surround sound recording in orchestral, film, and high-fidelity studio applications. Featuring three 4006A omnidirectional microphones and two 4011A cardioid microphones, this kit provides exceptional accuracy, detailed sound reproduction, and phase-coherent capture for immersive audio recordings. Each microphone is factory-matched to ensure uniform frequency response, making this an ideal choice for Decca Tree setups, stereo A-B recording, and surround main arrays.

Matched Omnidirectional Microphones for Transparent Sound
The kit includes three DPA 4006A omnidirectional microphones, matched within 0.5 dB for precise stereo imaging and natural sound capture. These microphones deliver an extended frequency response and a linear tonal balance, making them well-suited for capturing the full depth and resonance of symphonic performances, vocal ensembles, and ambient environmental recordings. With their omnidirectional polar pattern, the 4006A mics ensure consistent sound pickup from all directions without coloration or distortion.

High-Precision Cardioid Microphones for Focused Audio Capture
Complementing the omnidirectional mics, the 5006-11A kit includes two 4011A cardioid microphones, matched within 1 dB for superior directional recording. These cardioid mics excel in isolating individual instruments or voice sources while minimizing off-axis noise. Whether used as part of a Decca Tree arrangement or for close-miking applications, the 4011A microphones provide a clean and detailed sound with remarkable accuracy.
