New Solution to be Presented at the 2026 NAMM Show Alongside the DPK4099 CORE+ and DPK4011 Piano Stereo Kits, Designed to Simplify Miking Without Sacrificing Sound
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 15, 2026 ― DPA Microphones is striking a new chord in piano miking with the debut of its DPK2015 Piano Stereo Kit, an out-of-the-box, plug-and-play miking solution that takes just minutes to install and ensures that the true voice of the piano shines through. Additionally, DPA’s piano kit portfolio now features three distinct options, each engineered to meet the needs of different users with unmatched flexibility across studio and live sound environments. This includes the DPK2015, as well as the DPK4099 CORE+ and DPK4011 Piano Stereo Kits, which will all be spotlighted at the 2026 NAMM Show (Booth 16103).
Built around a stereo pair of 2015 Wide Cardioid Microphones, the DPK2015 Kit delivers faster setup and greater sonic precision than any other plug-and-play piano solution. Purpose-built mounts and accessories allow secure, vibration-free mounting with a broad range of placements, in minutes — whether the lid is open or closed. The result is a natural, balanced stereo image that faithfully captures the true complexities of the piano’s sound, from the delicate nuances of a classical performance to the dynamic range of pop, jazz and live touring acts.
