DPA 3532-T2

The DPA 3532-T2 is a complete high-end A-B Stereo Kit consisting of two carefully factory-matched omnidirectional Large Diaphragm Microphones Type 4041-T2 with a pentode vacuum tube preamplifier driven as a cathode follower in a unity gain class A design. Included is also the Hi-Voltage Microphone Amplifier Type HMA5000 and a Stereo Boom all packed with cables in a handy carrying case with a foam insert.

The specially selected microphones of the DPA 3532-T2 are matched within 1 dB on both frequency response, sensitivity and self-noise. The maximum phase response difference from 50 Hz to 20 kHz is 10°. The frequency response from 10 Hz to 20 kHz with a 4-6 dB soft boost around 8 kHz matches the response of the highly acclaimed Type 4040 Hybrid Microphone. The two 4041-T2 are powered via the standard HMA5000 Microphone Amplifier, creating an A-B stereo microphone system that offers a slight musical colouration of the recording.

The DPA 3532-T2 is the ultimate choice for all professional A-B Stereo recordings.
