Grids and APE

DD0254 is a grid for close-miking applications, which gives a soft reproduction of the high frequencies.

 

The response is linear up to 15 kHz after which it has a soft roll-off - a bit earlier than the standard mounted DD0251 near-field grid.

 

This close-miking grid offers optimum clarity and balance in close mic situations with a neutral frequency response from 10 Hz to 15 kHz (±2 dB).

 

Furthermore, mount this grid in other recording situations, if you generally want a smoother treble reproduction.

 

You can tell the difference between the DD0254 close-miking grid and the standard mounted near-field grid by its sharpened shape.

The DD0297 is a microphone protection grid ideally suited for making all types of far-field recordings.

 

It is supplied as standard with the Standard Microphone Types 4003 and 4006, the A-B Stereo Kits 3503 and 3506 and the Compact Microphone Types 4051, 4052 and 4053, but can also be ordered separately.

 

With this grid fitted, your microphone will achieve a linear diffuse-field response up to 15 kHz.

 

In the near-field, the on-axis response has a 6 dB boost at 15 kHz.

 

At intermediate distances, you can orient your microphone at a "grazing angle" of incidence to the sound source to give a normal response to direct sound while brightening up reflective sound.

The DD0251 is a Free-field Grid ideally suited for making all types of near-field recordings.

 

It is supplied as standard with the Standard Microphone DPA 4003 and 4006, the A-B Stereo Kits 3503 and 3506 and the Compact Microphone DPA 4051, 4052 and 4053, but can also be ordered separately.

 

With this grid fitted, your microphones will achieve optimum recording accuracy on-axis and exhibit neutral frequency responses across the audio range from 10 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) close to the sound source.

The Nose Cone UA0777 is specially designed for use with the Standard Microphone Type 4003 and 4006, the A-B Stereo Kits 3503 and 3506 and the Compact Microphones Types 4051, 4052 and 4053.

 

It will give your microphone a perfect omnidirectional response across the whole audio frequency range.

It counteracts the directional characteristics that omnidirectional microphones exhibit at higher frequencies, and guarantees an even tonal balance of sound arriving at all angles of incidence, but with a high-frequency boost on-axis.

 

This nose cone is especially suitable for increasing the ambiance to your recordings, or for miking a variety of sound sources that are positioned around the microphone.
