DPA 2006C Compact Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone

Our unique Twin Diaphragm Omni Mic Capsule is at the heart of these amazing microphones. This capsule gives the mic a distinctive, well-balanced sound and bridges the gap between the extreme sound quality of our pencil microphones and our well-known lavalier microphones.

Combine it with the preamp of your choice
As with all of our modular pencil microphones, you can combine the Twin Diaphragm Omni Mic Capsule with any of our preamps.

The MMP-A Mic Preamp is an ultra-transparent, transformerless preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. The MMP-C Compact Mic Preamp is an ultra-compact preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. It has a slightly softer character than the other preamps for our pencil microphones.

Other preamps include the very small form factor types MMP-E Modular Active Cable (XLR output) and MMP-G Modular Active Cable (MicroDot output), allowing for very slim set-ups. The MMP-G even allows you to match a larger microphone directly to a wireless transmitter.

The 2006C Compact Twin Diaphragm Omni Mic offers a subtle character alteration with a bit more “body” to the low end than the 2006A. It is also much easier to position than other omni mics, due to its smaller size.

At any time, and with no tools needed, it is possible to transform the 2006 Twin Diaphragm Omni Mic into a new configuration.
