Surround recording
DPA offers microphones, mounts and accessories specifically designed for surround recording.
The versatile 5100 mobile surround mic can be mounted, flown, or simply handheld via a hand grip. It is equally suitable for studio as for location recording. Extremely lightweight and portable, the 5.1 surround unit sports a robust build quality that is also highly resistant to inclement weather conditions.
The symmetry and precise matching of more than two microphones is crucial when recording surround acoustics. Each of DPA’s surround kits consists of exceptional microphones with a highly neutral and transparent character, and authentic reproduction - mics that have extended dynamic and frequency ranges to accommodate today’s high-resolution digital formats.
