The Fukada Tree is an "original" sized decca tree array, but with five
cardioid microphones and two additional omnidirectional microphones as
outriggers to blend in between front and rear channels.
by Akira Fukada, Japan
The choice of cardioid microphones improve the channel separation and the backwards oriented rear cardioids will
also minimize leakage of direct sound to the rear speakers.
Omnidirectional microphones are often preferred in decca tree configurations for music recordings due to their
natural sound color and full frequency bandwidth. The two omni outriggers serve this very important component in
this array.
From the outset, Akira Fukada specified DPA microphones as best suited to his Tree; he insists on using DPA mics
for their transparent feel.

Tiny but mighty
Precision engineering and miniscule optimizations of our capsule technology have created a
subminiature that significantly outperforms all other mics in their class – and beyond.

You’ve never heard a subminiature like this before
What they lack in size, they more than make up for in clarity, consistency and durability – three
qualities that really matter.
