Customer Review Summary
The DPA ST2015 mics are a remarkable addition for live performances, departing from the brand’s traditional clip-on mics to offer an innovative half-spherical capture of sound.
Upon first handling the mics, their compact and unobtrusive design stands out, complemented by well-designed clips that, while effective, could benefit from a more standard alternative.
The sound quality is impressively clear and precise. When positioned in an AB arrangement over a drum kit, they allow for close placement without sacrificing stereo width or introducing muddiness. This design captures other loud instruments and ambient sound more distinctly than comparable cardioid mics, resulting in a richer tonal experience.
In studio settings, these mics have proven versatile for various applications, including atmospheric recordings, backing vocals, and acoustic guitar. They excel as overhead microphones, effectively capturing the entirety of the drum kit, especially when paired with a kick drum mic.
Overall, the DPA ST2015 mics perform exceptionally well in stereo applications across diverse scenarios, delivering wonderful results, particularly with clean preamps, despite being slightly gain-hungry compared to other DPA models.
