Professional Studio Microphone

The DPA d:dicate 2006C is a twin diaphragm omnidirectional microphone designed for critical recording applications. It ships with the MMP-C compact preamplifier and covers a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. The capsule design draws inspiration from the respected DPA 4006 omni microphone. This configuration suits engineers capturing acoustic instruments, room ambience, or ensemble performances.

Ideal For Ambient Capture

The omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound evenly from all directions, making it a strong choice for natural soundscapes and distant miking techniques. A typical A-weighted self-noise of 16dB ensures transparent results in quiet environments. It is less suited for close-miked vocals or stage work where directional rejection of monitor bleed is required. Builders needing on-axis focus should evaluate cardioid alternatives.

Twin Diaphragm Capsule

The defining specification is the twin diaphragm capsule, which places two opposite-facing miniature capsules in a single housing. This architecture merges the fast transient response of small diaphragms with consistent omnidirectional pickup. The MMP-C preamplifier adds a subtle low-frequency body compared to the MMP-A version. Modular upgradability within the d:dicate series allows future preamplifier changes.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the microphone is performing correctly after installation?

Record a quiet passage and verify the self-noise sits near 16 dB(A), then play back a full-range source to ensure response extends from 20 Hz to 20 kHz without roll-off.

What accessories are included and which must be purchased separately?

The 2006C capsule and MMP-C compact preamplifier are supplied; an XLR cable, phantom-power source, stand mount and wind protection are not included.

Should I choose the 2006C or the 2006A version for my application?

Select the 2006C with MMP-C preamplifier for added low-frequency body and easier placement, or the 2006A with MMP-A preamplifier for lower distortion and a more neutral response.
