DPA 4011A – Cardioid Microphone for Precise Sound
The DPA 4011A is a high-quality cardioid microphone, renowned for its exceptional neutrality, accuracy, and low distortion. Whether in recording studios or on live stages worldwide, it is celebrated for its natural sound. Carefully selected components ensure precise sound reproduction in any recording situation.
Exceptional Sound Quality and Precise Cardioid Pattern
The main advantage of the 4011A is its cardioid directional pattern and detailed sound capture. This microphone captures every nuance of your recording, providing a natural and authentic sound. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern ensures superb separation between sound sources, making the microphone ideal for close-up work on acoustic guitars, pianos, overheads, percussion, wind instruments, and vocals, as well as for spot-miking symphonies.
With a flat on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response, the microphone delivers an accurate reproduction of the original sound. Any off-axis sound is faithfully reflected, though attenuated according to the cardioid pickup pattern.
Modular Design – Flexibility for Every Application
Like all DPA Pencil microphones, the 4011A offers the ability to combine the cardioid capsule with different preamps:
- MMP-A Microphone Preamp: An ultra-transparent, transformerless preamp with active impedance balancing.
- MMP-C Compact Microphone Preamp: A compact preamp with a slightly warmer sound character.
- MMP-E / MMP-G Modular Active Cables: Compact cable options with XLR or MicroDot outputs for discreet setups and wireless applications.
Reliability On Stage and in the Studio
With its ability to handle very high sound pressure levels (SPL) without distortion, the 4011A excels in recording loud sound sources. It features a built-in -20 dB pad switch located in the XLR connector, allowing attenuation of the microphone signal when recording very loud sounds, while maintaining full control over the audio.
