The DPA 4011C Cardioid Microphone is the worldwide reference standard for extreme sound level handling. Designed to be hidden from view, the diminutive design and high performance of the 4011C makes it the outstanding choice for unobtrusively miking all types of television, film, theatre, concert and studio performances.
The DPA 4011C Compact Cardioid Microphone is proof that stunning clarity and absolute neutrality are not solely the characteristics of full-sized studio condenser mics alone. Designed to be hidden from view, the diminutive design and high performance of the DPA 4011C makes it the outstanding choice for unobtrusively miking all types of television, film, theatre, concert and studio performances.
Small in Size, Not Application
When used to spot-mike larger orchestras, the DPA 4011C is hard to beat. Capable of handling high SPLs without distortion, the mic is perfectly tailored for close-miking applications; minimizing bleed from other instruments. In film and TV studios, they are excellent for off-camera voice recording or Foley work. For live on-camera recordings, their matte black finish gives them a classic yet inconspicuous appearance, while for sound reinforcement in concert halls, theatres and houses of worship, they provide clean, natural sound while reducing the noticeable effect of lighting reflection.
