DPA Microphones 2012 Compact Cardioid Microphone

The DPA 2012 compact cardioid mic is the best all-around, general purpose mic to cover a wide range of close-miking needs on the live stage. It is a robust and reliable condenser mic, ideal for single instrument pickup. Its specifically powerful characteristics make it an extremely flexible mic that will shine on many instruments, particularly those in the high-frequency range. The 2012 is constructed to withstand rough handling on a hectic live stage. It has a thicker, more robust body construction of brass that is very durable and known for its corrosion resistance and tolerance against metal fatigue. In addition to the heavy-duty materials used, the surfaces of the mic handle and grille are treated with a protective black chrome finish.
