Product overview
The DPA 4011 Cardioid Floorstand Microphone is a complete microphone floor stand solution offering a high-quality stage voice or instrument mic in an elegant and exclusive design.
The solution uses the MMC4011 Cardioid Microphone Capsule for its directional quality and attention to detail, so everything sounds like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources, and the microphone handles incredibly high sound levels.
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 any leakage is an accurate reflection of the original, attenuated according to the true first-order cardioid pattern. It is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals as for spot-miking symphonies.
The floor base has integrated shock-mounting and the boom pole stabilises rapidly. The 4011 floorstand comes in black with an XLR connector, as a single microphone on a 77 cm (30 in) or 122 cm (48 in) boom, or as a twin microphone on a 122 cm (48 in) boom. It runs on P48 phantom power and drives cables up to 100 m (328 ft).
