DPA 4011ER Cardioid Microphone Rear Cable XLR

DPA 4011ER Cardioid Microphone

Single mic, MMP-ER preamp with rear cable

4011ER/ES Cardioid Mic - Ideal for unobtrusive spot miking, such as hanging or table use, this mic is an ultra-compact cardioid condenser microphone. The mic has a length of only 3.5 cm (1.4 in) and a low-key appearance. This solution features an integrated cable solution with either side (4011ES) or rear (4011ER) cable entry. This allows the mic to be hung from the ceiling and create precise and repeatable positions and angles when spot miking orchestra sections or ambience atmospheres.

Make it sound like the original
The principal appeal of the 4011 Cardioid Mic is its directional quality and attention to detail. This mic makes everything sound like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources. It 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 pressure levels (SPLs). A flat on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a 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.

Combine it with the preamp of your choice
As with all of the DPA modular pencil microphones, you can combine the Cardioid Mic Capsule with any of the DPA preamps. The MMP-A Microphone Preamp is an ultra-transparent, transformerless preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. The MMP-C Compact Microphone Preamp is an ultra-compact preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. It has a slightly softer character than the other preamps for DPA’s pencil microphones. Other preamps include the very small form factor types MMP-E Modular Active Cable (XLR output) and MMP-G Modular Active Cable (MicroDot output), allowing for very slim set-ups. The MMP-G even allows you to match a larger microphone directly to a wireless transmitter.
