Yes, the dual-element construction of the DPA 4087 requires standard plug-in power or 48V phantom power to operate, depending on the wireless adapter used. This design utilizes a gold-sputtered nickel diaphragm alongside silicone suspension to capture clear audio while rejecting handling noise.

In what broadcast environments is the DPA 4087 most commonly used?

It is heavily used in theatrical productions and broadcasting environments where preventing feedback is critical. Its directionality makes it exceptionally good at isolating a speaker's voice when used alongside live PA systems.
