The principal appeal of the 4011 is its directional quality and attention to detail: it makes everything sound like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources, and it can handle incredibly high sound pressure 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e4011A\u003c\/strong\u003e is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals, as well as spot-miking symphonies, and includes a 20 dB pad switch in the centre of the XLR connector. The \u003cstrong\u003e4011C\u003c\/strong\u003e compact version is designed to be hidden from view and is the worldwide reference standard for extreme sound level handling: for television, film, theatre, concert and studio performances, spot-miking larger orchestras, off-camera voice and Foley work, with a matte black finish that reduces the effect of lighting reflection.
