this is for chamber music, both in a studio setting and small venues.

4015 appears to be more usable, 4011 is not a "main pair" kind of
microphone and will need equalization for this use. A true "far field
linear response" cardioid does not seem to be in DPA's product palette
currently, I don't think they like the compromises it necessitates.

4006 used for live recording in small venues will give an excellent
recording of all noises made by the audience, they can be used, but I
would prefer to use them on something noisier if the audience is as
nearby as it is likely to be.

If you want the stereo imaging properties of a cardioid main pair you
will have to look at some other brand than DPA, Schoeps does indeed come
to mind. There was a thread about what Schoeps's to use for this
specific type of recording a couple of months ago.


Kind regards
