The DPA 4011A cardioid condenser microphone is an upgraded version of DPA's classic 4011, renowned in recording studios and live applications around the world as an exceptional mic. State-of-the-art components have been carefully selected to provide optimal neutrality, accuracy, and extremely low distortion.
The 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.
A 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.

My pair of DPA 4011s are my favorite microphones! They very transparent and yet very musical. I have used them in a variety situations on various instruments from vocalists, string quartets, Orchestra, drum overheads, etc. They sound amazing.

First time I became aware of this mic was at the jazz club Ronny Scotts in London, while on tour with Robben Ford and Bill Evans.the house-tech asked me to try it, and we put it in front of the guitar amp - the result blew me off my feet: it sounded 100% like the amp, but just much bigger, cause the sound now came out of the P.A.-system as well - no nasel,no booming,no harshness - just the pure amp sound!! I ordered the 4011 the next day, and it’s my loyal companion ever since - in the studio as well as on stage! the mic is very small and I use it for very different occasions - and it always reproduces the sound in a very real and uncolored way! It’s great for acoustic sound sources ( double bass, cello, acoustic guitars….) as well as for sources with very high sound pressure (guitar amps, bass amps, baritone sax…) - versatile like a swiss army knife! one of the tools, which make my daily work much easier! even it’s not cheap, it’s worth every cent! absolut pro tip - try it!!!
