{"product_id":"dpa-4011a-cardioid-microphone-p48","title":"DPA 4011A Cardioid Condenser Microphone","description":"A combination of the MMC4011 microphone capsule and the MMP-A preamplifier, the \u003cb\u003eDPA 4011A \u003c\/b\u003ecardioid mic is part of the modular DPA Reference Standard series.\u003cb\u003eImproving upon a classic\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DPA 4011A cardioid condenser microphone is an upgraded version of our classic 4011, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePure linear cardioid\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe principal appeal of the 4011A is its directional quality and attention to detail: everything sounds like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources when used as a spot mic on literally any style of live music, from rock ‘n’ roll to opera. The 4011A 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfectly natural\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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 pickup pattern. The sensation of “being there” will always be more intense with the DPA 4011A than with any other cardioid. Chosen for its qualities as an all-around performer, the 4011A is a great, clean-sounding colorless mic. The variety of applications is as wide as the imagination of the user.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional characteristics:     Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciple of operation:     Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge type:     Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range:     20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range, ±2 dB:     40 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity, nominal ±2 dB at 1 kHz:     10 mV\/Pa; -40 dB re. 1 V\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, re. 20 µPa:     Typ. 18 dB(A) re. 20 µPa (max. 20 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, ITU-R BS.468-4:     Typ. 25 dB (correct with the attenuator in 0 dB or -20 dB setting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/N ratio (A-weighted), re. 1 kHz at 1 Pa (94 dB SPL):     Typ. 76 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD):     \u0026lt; 1 % up to 139 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum load impedance:     2 kohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range:     Typ. 121 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.
