This improved version features \u003cstrong\u003ecarefully selected high-end components\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a clear goal: to deliver even more faithful reproduction, \u003cstrong\u003eexemplary neutrality\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eextremely reduced distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A Close-Miking Microphone Also Comfortable as a Spot Mic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4011A is designed for sound engineers, studios, live control rooms, and musicians seeking a \u003cstrong\u003eprecise cardioid microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of capturing the finest nuances without coloration. In close-miking, it excels on \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egrand piano\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as on drum overheads, percussion, and wind instruments. As a spot mic, its top-tier cardioid pattern facilitates placement within dense ensembles, up to the symphony orchestra, maintaining a stable image and natural sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts ability to handle \u003cstrong\u003every high sound pressure levels\u003c\/strong\u003e also makes it a safe choice when moving from delicate sessions (strings, vocals, ambience) to more energetic sources (brass, percussion, dynamic overheads) without changing microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePrecision, Phase, and Level Control: The Strengths of the 4011A\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Consistent Cardioid for Clean Separation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main asset of the 4011A is the \u003cstrong\u003estability of its cardioid polar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e. This consistency helps isolate a source in a busy environment while maintaining timbral coherence during movements or placement variations. In practice, this results in clearer recordings, particularly useful in multi-mic setups or ensemble spot miking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLinear Frequency Response and Controlled Phase\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to a \u003cstrong\u003elinear on-axis frequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent phase consistency\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 4011A aims to reproduce sound as close to the original as possible. Its off-axis behavior is also consistent: any leakage from other instruments retains a natural character, facilitating integration into a mix and enhancing the realistic spatial sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIntegrated -20 dB Pad: More Headroom, Less Constraints\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4011A features an \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated -20 dB attenuator (Pad)\u003c\/strong\u003e with a switch located at the center of the XLR connector. This pad allows for \u003cstrong\u003ereducing the microphone's output level\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the headroom of your preamp or console input stage, securing recordings on very loud sources without sacrificing definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003estudio microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esmall diaphragm condenser microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e158 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttenuator Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e-20 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e200 Ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ehigh\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003erequires Phantom power\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358318219539,"sku":"172576","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/2c15d00e92a76f15e43d89a2843a0909c7a00761_1DPA_4011A.jpg?v=1788183005","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/dpa-4011a-172576","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
