The 2011A Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone from DPA features a modular capsule design and sonic character. It contains a cardioid condenser capsule suitable for capturing instruments in sound reinforcement applications. The capsule's twin diaphragm is designed to provide a fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth, resulting in lower inherent noise. Additionally, the microphone allows you to maintain a linear tonal response when closely positioning it near speaker cabinets, percussion, and other instruments. The microphone's modular design allows users to manually switch optional capsules, providing enhanced versatility and performance. There is an output stage that offers an MMP-A preamp for faithful recreations of the original source material and an included microphone clip and windscreen.
