DPA Microphones 3511A - 4011A Cardioid Microphone Stereo Kit

This is a complete stereo kit with two carefully factory-matched phantom powered 4006A Omnidirectional Condenser Microphones. The kit includes mics, windscreens, boom, holders, clips, and much more. Even though the standard tolerances on DPA recording mics are already extremely low, a stereo match is even closer. These specially selected 4006A Omnidirectional Microphones are matched within ±0.5 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity.

For reference stereo recording, there is no better choice than a 4006A Omnidirectional Microphone. These omnidirectional condenser microphones are linear and true in character. They come as a hand-matched pair that offers the truest capture of stereo sound available.

This cardioid condenser microphone is renowned in recording studios and live applications around the world as an exceptional mic. State-of-the-art components have been carefully selected to provide optimal neutrality, accuracy and extremely low distortion. It is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals as it is for spot-miking symphonies. It can handle incredibly high sound levels and even includes a 20 dB pad switch in the center of the XLR connector to attenuate the output of the microphone.

Features:

• Ultra-compact spot or hanging mic
• Close-miking
• Great for high sound pressure levels
• Accurate sound
• Colorless sound
• Modular flexibility

The principal appeal of the 4011 Cardioid Mic is its directional quality and attention to detail. This mic makes everything sound like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources. It is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals as it is for spot-miking symphonies. It can handle incredibly high sound pressure levels (SPLs).

A flat on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a 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 pickup pattern.

Combine it with the preamp of your choice
As with all of our modular pencil microphones, you can combine the Cardioid Mic Capsule with any of our preamps.

The MMP-A Microphone Preamp is an ultra-transparent, transformerless preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. The MMP-C Compact Microphone Preamp is an ultra-compact preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. It has a slightly softer character than the other preamps for our pencil microphones.

Other preamps include the very small form factor types MMP-E Modular Active Cable (XLR output) and MMP-G Modular Active Cable (MicroDot output), allowing for very slim set-ups. The MMP-G even allows you to match a larger microphone directly to a wireless transmitter.
