Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone The DPA 2011A microphone has strong references to the acclaimed close-miking and hi-SPL handling specialist DPA 4011 cardioid microphone - not only by its type number 11, also in its all-round capture abilities. 2011 is primarily optimized for on-stage use and the technology combines the new Twin Diaphragm Capsule and DPA’s strong know-how within interference tube technology. While 4011 has gained worldwide admiration for its total linearity at all sound confrontations, the 2011 is purposely aimed differently- the off-axis response is still linear but in a smaller frequency bandwidth making stage separation and gain-to-feedback higher and mic level easier to control.
The 2011A is part of the flexible DPA Reference Standard series and with the MMP-A preamplifier it is the audiophile’s choice with low distortion and total accurate and faithful sound. At any time and with no tools necessary it is possible to transform the basic 2011 microphone into a new configuration by combining it with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp.
