You can tell by these new mics as well as the 4099's that DPA is just expanding deeper into the theater performance niche. They have mics for the performer, the instruments and the room. Now they have a close to complete product line for theater sound. I would bet that the vast majority of 402x mics are being used as instrument mics and their use as room mics like we use them for is probably pretty slim.
I do wonder if in the design of these new mics that they have left the door open for 'active' cables?
