d:dicate™ 4006C Compact Omnidirectional Microphone

A combination of the MMC4006 Microphone Capsule and the

MMP-C Preampliﬁer, this mic is part of d:dicate™ Recording Micro-

phone series.

Grids

The d:dicate™ 4006C Compact Omnidirectional Microphone is sup-

plied with three dierent grids that are used to change characteristics

of the microphone acoustically. Be extremely careful not to touch the

exposed diaphragm when switching grids. Do not attempt to remove

dust as it will not aect the performance of the microphone.

The pre-mounted silver near-ﬁeld grid (DD0251) exhibits neutral frequency response

when used in near sound ﬁeld (direct sound ﬁeld).

The black diuse-ﬁeld grid (DD0297) oers recording accuracy in diuse sound ﬁeld (far ﬁeld)

by compensating for the natural high frequency loss caused by air absorption.

The silver trapezoid dose-mic grid (DD0254) subtly rolls o the highest frequencies to create

a smoother treble response when close miking sources with bright transient impulses.
