Overview

Maximum clarity, minimum visibility

DPA's Compact Cardioid range of microphones demonstrate that clarity and neutrality are not solely the province of full-sized studio condenser mics. Manufactured to be inobtrusive and yet with uncompromising fidelity, the low-profile design and high performance of the DPA 4011C makes it an outstanding choice for inconspicuous miking for 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.
