TRANSPARENCY, DETAIL AND DEPTH OF SOUND - The 4006 Omni Mic offers total transparency in any recording situation. It picks up incredible detail and depth of sound. The definition of its high-frequency characteristics across a wide range of instruments is impressive. It offers natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and linear frequency response from 10 to 20 kHz (±2 dB).

Built on Earth, tested on Mars
NASA’s Mars 2020 Rover took off on July 30, 2020 for a seven-month journey to the mysterious Red Planet. It touched down successfully on February 18, 2021 with a DPA 4006 Omnidirectional, an MMA-A Digital Audio Interface and an MMP-G Modular Active Cable in tow. This omnidirectional condenser microphone is linear and true in character. It has earned its status as a worldwide recording standard and is our most popular pencil mic. This highly sought after mic has forged its enviable reputation over the past quarter of a century by repeatedly exhibiting its total transparency in any recording situation.
4006C Compact Omni Mic
Whenever a small, lightweight and inconspicuous microphone for top-quality recording is required, the 4006C Compact Omni Mic is the perfect choice. The mic design is compact and clean. This is a very versatile recording microphone. It is popular as an A-B stereo pair in concert halls where quality recordings can sometimes be compromised by classic architecture. The mic can be mounted, hung or concealed to create clean, transparent recordings. It is ideal for use in theatres, opera houses, concert halls and houses of worship – anywhere there is a live audience. It can also be for film recordings, both in the studio and on location. Musicians like to use this omnidirectional condenser microphone to close mic some instruments, such as the double bass, trumpet and piano. At the same time, they are fantastic for ambience miking on soundstages, in sports stadiums and other environments where audience sound needs to be recorded.
Combine with the preamp of your choice
As with all of the modular pencil microphones, you can combine the Omni Mic Capsule with any of the DPA preamps. The MMP-A Microphone Preamp is an ultra-transparent, transformerless preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. The MMP-C Compact Microphone Preamp is an ultra-compact preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. It has a slightly softer character than the other preamps for our pencil microphones. Other preamps include the very small form factor types MMP-E Modular Active Cable (XLR output) and MMP-G Modular Active Cable (MicroDot output), allowing for very slim set-ups. The MMP-G even allows you to match a larger microphone directly to a wireless transmitter. You can combine any of the preamps with any of the modular capsules in the Pencil Microphones Series.
