DPA MMC4011 Reference Standard Series Cardioid Mic Capsule

The MMC4011 capsule is part of the flexible DPA Reference Standard series. The 4011A with the MMP-A preamplifier is the worldwide reference standard for extreme sound level handling, where the 4011C with the MMP-C compact preamplifier is excellent for compact and precise close-miking of the majority of instruments.

The principal appeal of the cardioid MMC4011 capsule 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.
