Manufacturer's Description from DPA (B&K)

The High-SPL Omnidirectional Microphone Type 4007 is a phantom powered (P48) close miking specialist with an extremely linear on-axis frequency response from 20Hz to 40kHz (-2dB).

This high-performance condenser microphone has an unbeatable dynamic range of 124dB from the noise floor to 1% THD and is capable of handling up to 155dB SPL peak before clipping occurs.

The Type 4007 has through its total acoustical transparency and ultra-high SPL handling capability gained a reputation as being the first choice for picking up drums, percussion and brass instruments, whenever the natural and non-distorted result is paramount. Type 4007 is, due to its linear qualities, also used as reference microphone in both microphone comparisons and acoustic test equipment.

At any time and with no tools necessary it is possible to transform the basic 4007A microphone into a new configuration by combining it with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp.
