DPA 4055 Pre-polarized Condenser Kick Drum Microphone

Renowned DPA Sound for Your Kick Drum

Optimized open cardioid polar pattern

When DPA designed the 4055, they found that the optimal polar pattern for this type of microphone is an open cardioid, which falls between a cardioid and wide cardioid. While most kick drum mics feature a cardioid polar pattern, DPA's blind tests confirmed that the wider open cardioid pattern produced the best sound.

Outstanding feedback-free design

The DPA 4055 is one of the most feedback-resistant kick drum mics we've used here at Sweetwater. You can confidently use it onstage with wedge monitors, drum fills, and a cranked front-of-house PA, and the 4055 will continue to deliver clean, feedback-free performance.
