4011C Cardioid Microphone, Compact
- Close-miking
- Superior for high sound levels
- Accuracy
- Colourless
Maximum Clarity, Minimum Visibility
DPA’s Compact Cardioid range 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.
Limited In Size, Not Application
Capable of handling high SPLs without distortion, the 4011C is perfectly tailored for close-miking applications, minimizing bleed from other instruments. When used to spot-mike larger orchestras, these mics are hard to beat, and 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.
