All-round workhorse
The new DPA 2011A microphone has strong references to the acclaimed
close-miking and hi-SPL handling specialist DPA 4011 cardioid
microphone – not only by its type number 11, also in its
all-round capture abilities.
2011 is primarily optimized for on-stage use and the technology
combines the new Twin Diaphragm Capsule and DPA’s strong
know-how within interference tube technology.
While 4011 has gained worldwide admiration for its total linearity
at all sound confrontations, the 2011 is purposely aimed
differently; the off-axis response is still linear but in a smaller
frequency bandwidth making stage separation and gain-to-feedback
higher and mic level easier to control.
Modular flexibility
2011A is part of the flexible DPA d:dicate Recording Mics series.
The 2011A with the MMP-A preamplifier is the audiophile’s
choice with low distortion and total accurate and faithful sound,
where the 2011C with the MMP-C compact preamplifier offers a subtle
character alteration with a bit more “body” to the low
end – in addition to its easier-to-position approach.
At any time and with no tools necessary it is possible to transform
the basic 2011 microphone into a new configuration by combining it
with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp.
Twin Diaphragm Capsule: cutting edge technology
The overall distinctive sound image from the DPA miniatures is so
well balanced that it meets the high demands of the DPA Reference
Standard league.
In a 2011 capsule two opposite facing miniature capsules are custom
re-built into a double diaphragm, one-capsule composition.
The use and control of interference tubes has become a DPA
specialty and the 2011 is no exception; the capsules are loaded to
the supreme Reference Standard preamps instead of the tiny
miniature FET preamp from the 4060 miniature series, offering even
more air and precision.
Stage addict
The 2011 has found its use on numerous stages and recording
sessions. Exhibiting a previously unheard blend of clarity,
richness and dynamic range, the 2011 performs like a much more
exclusive microphone and redefines the term value for money.
Also available as selected stereo pair
The ST2011A stereo pair is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM
Case. |
