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 d:dicate Recording Microphone
range.
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 d:dicate
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.
