The interchangeable grids are not only for protecting the microphone diaphragm. They are an important part of the mic’s acoustical design.
Grids are used to obtain a final adjustment of the frequency response and to control the behavior of sound waves on the diaphragm of a microphone. The use of these various grids is relevant when you want an adaptation of the microphone’s frequency response to the sound field. DPA has a wide range of mic grids that can customize our mics both regarding sound, as well as style.
