DPA 2006 Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone

The DPA 2006 features our signature Twin Diaphragm Omni Mic Capsule, engineered to deliver a distinctive, well-balanced sound that bridges the gap between the extreme sound quality of our pencil microphones and the proven reliability of our lavalier microphones.

This omnidirectional design captures audio from all directions with clarity and precision, making it ideal for applications requiring consistent pickup across multiple sound sources.

The dual-diaphragm technology ensures superior acoustic performance while maintaining the compact form factor professionals demand.

The DPA 2006 Twin-Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone is also available in a compact version.
