The compact 4011C Cardioid Microphone from DPA is designed for capturing vocals, close miking instruments, amplifier cabinets, and other sources in live sound reinforcement and crucial recording applications. It features a cardioid condenser element for minimizing off-axis noise in spot-miking applications and an output stage that provides faithful recreations of the original source material. Additionally, the microphone allows you to maintain a linear tonal response when closely positioning it near speaker cabinets, percussion, and other instruments.
