DPA 4011A

Properties:

The DPA 4011A is a compact condenser microphone that can be used as a support or suspension microphone. Its main features include directionality and detail. Due to the cardioid characteristic, sound sources are optimally separated from each other. This makes it suitable for close-up recordings of acoustic guitars, pianos and wind instruments, for example, as well as for direct miking of entire symphonies. The microphone is designed for incredibly high sound pressure levels. It also impresses with its modular flexibility and accurate, coloration-free sound. With this microphone recordings sound like the original.
