Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone, Rear Cable, XLR . The 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Mic is a directional microphone. The distinctive sound of this microphone is well balanced. It bridges the gap between the extreme sound quality of pencil microphones and Lavalier microphones.Two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom rebuilt inside this microphone. They are placed into a double-diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. These capsules provide fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth. The capsules are loaded to our supreme preamps, which gives the sound more air and precision.Features• Blends clarity, richness and dynamicS• Twin diaphragm capsule technology• Advanced interference tube technology• Superb stage separation and level control• Modular flexibilitySpecificationsDirectional pattern: CardioidPrinciple of operation: Pressure gradient, with interference tubeCartridge type: Pre-polarised condenser, Twin Diaphragm CapsuleFrequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHzEffective frequency range, +2 dB, at 30 cm (11.8 in): 50 Hz - 17 kHz with 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHzSensitivity, nominal, +2 dB at 1 kHz: 10 mV/Pa; -40 dB re. 1 V/PaEquivalent noise level, A-weighted: Typ. 20 dB(A) re. 20 uPa (max. 23 dB(A))Equivalent noise level, ITU-R BS.468-4: Typ. 33 dB (max. 36 dB)Distortion, THD 1%: 134 dB SPL RMS, 137 dB SPL peakDynamic range: Typ. 117 dBMax.

It features a cardioid directional pattern and a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The microphone contains an MMP-E active cable preamp, which splits amplification and phantom power duties. Additionally, the microphone offers a modular capsule with high-quality directivity control and radio frequency interference rejection. The 2011ER capsule is also 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 low inherent noise. The microphone's modular design allows users to manually switch optional capsules for enhanced versatility and performance. The preamp terminates with a 12mm attachment at one end and an XLR connector at the other. The 2011ER features a compact appearance and includes a SM4000-C Suspension Mount. Two opposite facing miniature capsules are custom re-built into a double diaphragm, one-capsule composition Linear off-axis response in a small frequency bandwidth provides a high stage separation and gain-to-feedback with easy to control mic levels Blends clarity, richness, and dynamics Modular flexibility allows you to transform the basic 2011E microphone into a new configuration by combining it with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp
