DPA Microphones 4011A Cardioid Mic
- very low distortion
- handles incredibly high sound pressure levels
- totally faithful reproduction of the original sound
The 4011-TL cardioid microphone is an upgraded version of the classic DPA 4011 renowned in recording studios all over the world as an exceptional mic.
State-of-the-art components have been carefully selected to provide optimal neutrality, accuracy and extremely low distortion. The first order cardioid pick-up pattern gives superb separation between sound sources while spot-miking on every kind of live music.
The mic is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals. It can handle incredibly high sound levels and even includes a 20 dB pad switch to attenuate the output of the microphone.
A flat on axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a totally faithful reproduction of the original sound. The off-axis response is similarly smooth so that any leakage is an accurate reflection of the original, though attenuated according to the true first-order cardioid pick-up.
The feeling of being there will always be more intense with the 4011-TL than with any other cardioid.
Holder and windscreen are included.
