DPA 400 and 4006 are omnidirectional (pressure) microphones that use a 16
mm diameter prepolarized condenser cartridge. The cartridge has low self noise
(typical 15 dB(A) re. 0 µPa) and high sensitivity (400 and 4006-TL: 40 mV/Pa
and 4006: 10 mV/Pa). For optimum stability the microphone cartridges have
undergone a special pre-aging process which stabilizes all tensions in the materi-
als as well as the polarization voltage.
DPA 400, 4006 and 4006-TL are acoustically identical, but differ in their pre-
amplifier powering system. The 400 is powered with 10 V via the HMA5000
High-Voltage Microphone Amplifier and has a modified 4-pin XLR-connector (see
Fig. 1 for pin designation). This special powering system enables the microphone
preamplifier to handle approximately 10 dB higher SPL than similar microphone
types powered through conventional P48 systems (400: 154 dB SPL peak and
4006: 14 dB SPL peak). Furthermore, the 400 together with the HMA5000
is a totally transformerless system and therefore has an extended low-frequency
handling capability (10 Hz to 0 kHz ± dB). The 4006 is powered via a stan-
dard P48 system and is equipped with a standard -pin XLR-connector (see Fig.
for pin designation). DPA 400 and 4006 use state of the art low-noise pre-
amplifier technology. The preamplifiers are driven with unity gain to keep noise
as low as possible.
The 4006-TL is equipped with a state-of-the-art transformerless preamaplifier.
All components in this construction are very carefully selected to fulfil the demand
for optimal neutral timbre, tight and focused imaging and extremely low distor-
tion even at very high sound pressure levels. The transformerless design has an
extended low frequency handling capability (10 Hz to 0 kHz ± dB).
The 4006-TL is powered via a standard 48 V Phantom Power supply and has
a standard -pin XLR connector. See Fig. for pin designation. The output is
impedance balanced between pin and pin , with pin carrying the signal.
An attenuator is applied in the output amplifier to prevent overloading of input
sections in the following equipment such as mixing consoles etc. When the button
is pushed in, the output is attenuated by 0 dB.
All microphones come with an individual calibration chart of the selfnoise, sensiti-
vity and individual frequency response.

The DD051 Free-field Grid on the microphone cartridge is designed
to have a linear on-axis frequency response for near-field applications
(see Fig. for frequency responses measured with the Free-field
Grid). The grid is factory mounted but can be exchanged with the
DD097 Diffuse-field Grid or the UA0777 Nose Cone. Please be extremely careful
not to touch the exposed diaphragm when changing the grids.
The DD097 Diffuse-field Grid is supplied as standard. It is
designed for diffuse-field recordings, or recordings in the far field.
The grid gives a high-frequency boost on-axis of 6 dB around 15
kHz (see Fig. 5) without adding noise to the recording. This boost
gives a linear diffuse-field (far field) response up to 15 kHz.
The DD054 Close-miking Grid is available as an optional
accessory. Due to its high frequency roll-off (beginning at 1
kHz and - dB at 0 kHz) it is designed to provide a soft
and smooth high-end response, especially suitable for close
miking applications. The response is altered acoustically without adding
any noise or distortion. See Fig. 6 for frequency response.
The UA0777 Nose Cone is available as an optional accessory.
As with the DD097 Diffuse-field Grid, the Nose Cone is simply
screwed onto the microphone cartridge in place of the DD051
Free-field Grid. When fitted, the Nose Cone gives the microphone a
true omnidirectional response even at high frequencies (see Fig. 7) and a linear
diffuse-field response (see Fig. 5). These qualities are useful at any distance for
an even tonal balance of sound arriving at all angles of incidence, e.g. room
reverberation or several sound sources placed around the microphone. The
diaphragm is placed in a slot behind the solid cone and sound waves only
have access to the diaphragm through the side of the Nose Cone. This way the
Nose Cone prevents an on-axis, high frequency sound pressure build-up on the
microphone, which is the reason for normal flat fronted omnidirectional micro-
phones becoming more and more directional for higher frequencies. There is,
however, a slight high frequency boost on axis.

Available as optional acoustical attachments are also the APEs – Acoustic
Pressure Equalizers. The APEs use diffraction to passively modify the sound field
near the microphone diaphragm, thus changing the microphone’s frequency
response and, in particular, the polar response (see Fig. 14 and Fig. 15) without
adding any electrical noise to the recording. The size and shape of the APE
determines the acoustical changes of the microphone. The APEs are precision
made from a special compact nylon material and will only fit the DPA 400
and 4006/4006-TL fitted with the standard DD051 Free-field Grid. There are
four different APEs in the range: L0B is a Ø0 mm ball-shaped APE marked
with a blue dot, L40B is a Ø40 mm ball-shaped APE marked with a green dot,
L50B is a Ø50 mm ball-shaped APE marked with a red dot. The APEs can be
obtained seperately or in the APE L6 Acoustic Modification kit. See Fig. 17 for
how to mount the APEs on the microphone.
The PCC4000 Passive Connection Converter is an optional accessory that makes
it possible to run High-Voltage Microphones on standard 48 V phantom power
with reduced microphone specs. The maximum reduction of the microphone
SPL handling capability will be 1 dB and it is possible to drive up to 100 m
(8 ft) of cable with the PCC4000 with the same specifications. Like the High-
Voltage Microphones the PCC4000 is transformerless. The input connector is a
modified 4-pin female XLR for connection directly to the microphone. The out-
put is a standard -pin male XLR-connector for connection to standard cables.
