Full-bodied sound from a small-bodied mic
Wherever a small, lightweight, inconspicuous microphone for top-quality

recording is required, the compact design and clean, transparent sound
of our versatile 4006C makes it the perfect choice. They are particularly
popular as A-B stereo pairs in concert halls where quality recordings
can sometimes be compromised by classic architecture.

The 4006C can be mounted, hung or concealed to create clean,
transparent recordings. It is ideal in theatres, opera and concert halls or
places of worship where there is a live audience, and for film
applications, both in the studio and on location. These mics are also
popular with musicians for close-miking instruments such as double
bass, trumpet and piano. At the same time they are wonderful for
ambience miking on soundstages, in sports stadiums and other
environments where audience sound needs to be recorded.
Several tools in one

A selection of acoustic modification accessories, including nose cone
and interchangeable protection grids, allows the 4006C to be
acoustically transformed into different microphone versions, making it
the most multifaceted mic in your collection and a tremendous value. By
simply changing a grid, it is possible to gain several unique frequency
responses and directional characteristics from a single mic.
Furthermore, these grids and elements will not produce any phase shift,
noise or distortion that would otherwise be introduced by an electrical
filter.
Also availableas matched stereo pair

The ST4006C stereo pair is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM
Case, the stereo matching is free of charge.
