State-of-the-art components have been carefully selected to provide optimal neutrality, accuracy, and extremely low distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure linear cardioid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe principal appeal of the 4011A is its directional quality and attention to detail: everything sounds like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources when used as a spot mic on literally any style of live music, from rock 'n' roll to opera. The 4011A is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals as it is for spot-miking symphonies. It can handle incredibly high sound levels and even includes a 20 dB pad switch in the center of the XLR connector to attenuate the output of the microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfectly natural\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA flat on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a totally faithful reproduction of the original sound. The off-axis response is similarly smooth so that any leakage is an accurate reflection of the original, though attenuated according to the true first-order cardioid pickup pattern. The sensation of \"being there\" will always be more intense with the DPA 4011A than with any other cardioid. Chosen for its qualities as an all-around performer, the 4011A is a great, clean-sounding colorless mic. The variety of applications is as wide as the imagination of the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso available as matched stereo pair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ST4011A stereo pair is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM Case, the stereo matching is free of charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-miking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior for high sound levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional characteristics: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciple of operation: Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge type: Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range, +\/-2 dB: 40 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity, nominal +\/-2 dB at 1 kHz: 10 mV\/Pa; -40 dB re. 1 V\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, re. 20 Pa: Typ. 18 dB(A) re. 20 Pa (max. 20 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, ITU-R BS.468-4: Typ. 25 dB (correct with the attenuator in 0 dB or -20 dB setting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/N ratio (A-weighted), re. 1 kHz at 1 Pa (94 dB SPL): Typ. 76 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD): \u0026lt; 1 % up to 139 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum load impedance: 2 kohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: Typ. 121 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.
