The DPA 4016 is designed with a linear on-axis frequency response from 40Hz (±2dB) to 20 kHz (+3/-1dB) at 60 cm, with a soft high frequency lift from 10 to 15 kHz of max. 3dB.
The off-axis characteristics of the 4016 wide cardioid microphone are totally linear, a unique quality when it comes to authentic sound reproduction. Any leakage that occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, just softly attenuated.
