The cartridge
Types 4004 and 4007 are omnidirectional (pressure) microphones which use a 12mm diameter prepolarized condenser cartridge. The diaphragm is a nickel foil which has been coated with an ultra-thin polymer layer for optimum corrosion resistance. The microphone housing is of German silver, an alloy with a high content of nickel to match the stable thermal qualities of the diaphragm. The self noise of the cartridge is typical 24dB(A) re. 20µPa and the nominal sensitivity of the Types 4004 and 4007 are 10mV/Pa and
2.5mV/Pa respectively. Due to the size of the cartridge it can handle extremely high SPLs, has an extended linear frequency response up to 40kHz and a high degree of omnidirectionality, even for higher frequencies. For optimum stability the microphone cartridges have undergone a special pre-aging process which releases all tensions in the materials and stabilizes the polarization voltage.
The preamplifier
Types 4004 and 4007 are acoustically identical, but differ in their preamplifier powering system. The 4004 is powered with 130V via the HMA4000 Two-Channel High-Voltage Microphone Amplifier and has a modified 3-pin XLR-connector (see Fig. 1 for pin designation). This special powering system enables the microphone preamplifier to handle approximately 10dB higher SPL than similar microphone types powered through conventional P48 systems (4004: 168dB SPL peak and 4007: 155dB SPL peak). Furthermore, the 4004 together with the HMA4000 is a totally tranformerless system and therefore has an extended low-frequency handling capability (10Hz to 40kHz ± 2dB). The 4007 is powered via a standard P48 system and is equipped with a high quality audio transformer and a standard 3-pin XLR-connector (see Fig. 2 for pin designation). Types 4004 and 4007 use state of the art low-noise preamplifier technology and are driven with unity gain.

All microphones come with an individual calibration chart with the specifications of self noise, sensitivity and the frequency response.
Important: The microphones will only live up to their specifications if powered correctly.
The Passive Connection Converter
The PCC4000 Passive Connection Converter is an optional accessory that makes it possible to run High-Voltage Microphones on standard 48V phantom power with reduced microphone specifications. The maximum reduction of the microphone SPL handling capability will be 13dB and it is possible to drive up to 100m of cable with the PCC4000 with the same specifications. Like the High-Voltage Microphones the PCC4000 is transformerless. The input connector is a modified 4-pin female XLR for connection directly to the microphone. The output is a standard 3-pin male XLR-connector for connection to standard cables.

It is important to bear in mind the following points with regards to mounting, microphone care and the use of accessories:
The microphone cartridge is tightly secured to the main body housing, and no attempt should be made to remove it. If a replacement cartridge is required, contact your local DPA Microphones representative.
Use of windscreen is recommended when microphones are used in dirty or dusty environments.
When not in use, the microphone should be disconnected and kept in the case supplied.
