hello everyone,

my next mic purchase will likely be a DPA 4003.

Let's say 9 months later I wanted to get a second one. Could I
hypothetically send it to DPA and pay some extra money to have them
find a matched second one (provided I babied the original one)?
Or is that scientifically impossible.

The production quality on the DPA is good enough that you really shouldn't
need a matched pair, really.

But if you really want to match to an existing mike, that's going to be
a matter of policy and not technology. Schoeps will do this. Sennheiser
won't. B&K used to, but I don't know if DPA still will.
