MICROPHONE CAPSULES & PREAMPS

Customizable pencil mic solutions

The capsule and preamp are two critical elements of any microphone. The mic capsule converts sound waves into mic signals and the preamp amplifies the mic signal.

Most of DPA pencil mic solutions allow you to mix and match our different mic capsules together with our preamps so you can create the right solution for your specific situation.

Our capsules range all the way from omnidirectional to supercardioid so there is a pick up pattern for any type of performance. We have a quite a few preamps in different sizes and shapes to make our solutions as flexible as possible.
