Topic: DPA 2012 & 2015

[F0CKER]

So the 2012 & 2015 line are mics meant for congo drum kits as I understand it. So they are built to take some punishment!! Very few have jumped in and grabbed the wide cards yet but I’m considering grabbing a set of both! With the price being so inviting I’m thinking roll the dice. There are some 2012 pulls on archive that are stellar for sure. Search Mark Terry on archive and DPA 2012 and enjoy!

I've got a brand new pair of 2012s if you want them. I liked them so much decided to grab the 4011s. They were used 2x, basically mint

As screwed up as things are in the world these days, it's a good sign when Focker is back to changing gear like underwear, lol. How long did those 2012s last, 2 months?

No worries with anything from Focker, it will always be like new. Really, like the smell from the factory is still on them.

Those 2012s lasted all of 10 days before I made the call on the 4011s. Prior to that I was running the Nevatons for like 6 years. That may be a new record for me.

I have new car scent that come free with all gear purchases from me

Just did Goosemas with the 2012's, it was my first real test of these mics and they sounded fantastic, very neutral with a great level of detail and texture.  Highly recommended for anyone in the $1500 budget range for a stereo set of cardioids.

Just ran the 2015s last night for DBT in Philly. Beautiful sounding mics, will post samples tomorrow after I finish tracking it out. But yeah, they are really something else. I ran the 4011s next to them, so will post both for the comps. Both going straight to the SX-R4
