Latin America. DPA Microphones introduced its new compact cardioid microphones 2012 and wide cardioids 2015. With durable, reinforced construction to withstand the rigors of touring, the new microphones join the brand's esteemed line of pen microphones and offer DPA's renowned natural and accurate sound reproduction.

"We are excited to share these new solutions for sound professionals in the music industry. The 2012 Cardioid and 2015 Wide Cardioid continue to build on top of our other live microphone solutions, delivering the same natural sound quality people know, love and trust, with sonic and physical properties specifically designed to meet the needs of the live stage. Thanks to superior SPL handling and excellent transient response, these microphones will serve as versatile and durable solutions for audio professionals everywhere," said Helga Volha Somava, Director of Product Management at DPA Microphones.
The 2012 compact cardioid microphone acts as a reliable and versatile generalist pen microphone that works well on any instrument. This microphone combines a robust design with intricate sound pickup for precise close microphones in any stage configuration. From trumpets and percussion to acoustic or electric guitars, bass cabinets and more, the 2012 can easily capture the capture of a single instrument in a clear way.
And while the 2012 excels at single-instrument pickup, 2015's compact wide cardioid microphone works best as a stereo pair in drum kits and instrument clusters. With wide, uniform cardioid directionality and linear frequency response, a select pair of 2015 microphones delivers spacious sound for groups of trumpets, vibraphones, xylophones, and other large instruments.
