Inside the DynaCaster DCM6
-
Modern. Professional. Elegant.
The DCM6’s all-metal housing, integrated features, and elegant, modern finish – eliminate the need for a chunky external shockmount or pop filter and allow for obstruction-free camera angles whether you’re recording in the studio, at a broadcast / radio station, or creating content at home.
-
Turbo-boosted with +30 dB of clean gain
At the push of a button + phantom power (48V), the DCM6’s integrated DYNAMITE preamp instantly provides +30 dB of clean and transparent gain. This not only makes the DCM6 much louder than the typical dynamic microphone but also eliminates the need of an inline preamp and lowers your noise floor for virtually noiseless recording.
-
Front-addressed cardioid dynamic – tailored for speech
The DynaCaster DCM6’s front-addressed cardioid design captures natural and intimate sound quality for both vocals and speech. Its custom-developed capsule technology isolates your voice from unwanted ambient noise, ensuring high intelligibility even in noisy environments.
-
Integrated pop filter for plosive-free recording
Providing the proper equipment to ensure you sound like a professional, the DCM6’s integrated pop filter enables immediate creativity right out of the box.
-
Patented shockmount technology
With sE’s integrated patented shockmount technology, experience quick setup-time and obstruction-free camera angles since there is no need for a bulky external shockmount.
-
High-swivel mic stand mount with thread adapter
Ensure the perfect mic positioning for obstruction-free camera angles with a high-swivel mic stand mount – tested on a wide range of mic stands and desk booms so you can be sure the DCM6 will fit your favorite stand.
-
Dent-proof all-metal housing with premium finish
Built with a robust rock-solid housing and corrosion-free premium finish, the DCM6 is built to last for years of demanding use.

What does the button on the back of the DynaCaster DCM6 control?
The button controls the integrated DYNAMITE preamp. When the button is pushed in, the DynaCaster provides 30 dB of additional gain, ideal for speech and softer sources. This requires +48V Phantom power.
If the button is pushed out, the DynaCaster DCM6 functions as a completely passive microphone, not requiring any external or Phantom power.
What are the differences between your microphones’ polar patterns? How do I choose the most suitable type of polar pattern for my recording environment?
There are no real “right” or “wrong” answers to this question, as different patterns will just provide different types of sounds, and whatever best suits your particular song is usually the right answer! With that said:
- Cardioid – Generally best for recording vocals or other single sources, when you don’t want to hear much of the room sound around the source.
- Omni – This is good when you want a less focused, more “roomy” sound. Think distant drum mics in a great-sounding room.
- Figure-8 – Since this pattern lets the mic “hear” on both sides – front and back – and reject the sounds on either side, it’s handy if you want to record two sources at once from a point in between them, without hearing what’s off to the sides.
- Hypercardioid / Supercardioid – More directional than Cardioid, this is good for spot mics, when you want the sound to be very focused.
How should I store my microphone?
We generally recommend keeping your microphone in its case or original packaging when it is not in use for more than a few hours. If your studio is very clean and safe, it could be OK to leave out on its mic stand when not in use, but if a mic is out of its case, it could potentially be exposed to dust, smoke, moisture, or humidity – which can damage the sensitive parts of the mic – so we recommend avoiding those things at all cost.
How do I clean the microphone from spillage and dirt?
If your microphone has come in contact with dirt or another removable substance, we recommend cleaning it with a very soft, slightly damp cotton cloth. Do not open the microphone up to clean the inside, and make sure you NEVER touch the capsule itself. Cleaning a capsule should only be done by highly trained professionals in a “clean room” environment. If you suspect your capsule needs to be cleaned, please contact [email protected] so we can recommend an authorized local technician.
My guitar amplifier / drum / horn is VERY loud, and I am concerned about the risk of damage due to loud noise.
For the most part, sE mics can tolerate extremely high SPLs (typically over 135dB) and will be fine in front of even the loudest sources – yes, even our ribbon mics. If in doubt, you can check the specifications on the individual product page.
