The DPA 4055 is DPA Microphones' first dedicated condenser kick drum microphone, launched in 2022 as a high-SPL, low-frequency specialist for live and studio use. Breaking from genre-specific EQ curves in traditional dynamic kick mics, the 4055 delivers a flat, linear frequency response for uncolored, true-to-source capture – allowing engineers full creative control over the final tone. With exceptional clarity, tight low-end, and robust build, it's ideal for capturing the punch and depth of bass drums, bass amps, guitar cabs, or other high-energy instruments without distortion or unwanted coloration. Its asymmetric design and versatile positioning options make it a game-changer for precise placement inside or outside the drum.
