The DPA 2011A Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone is part of the Reference Standard Series and is built around the acclaimed DPA 4011 cardioid microphone, due to it's its all-round capture abilities. The 2011A delivers a blend of clarity, richness and dynamic range. Great for miking and recording on stage and in the studio.

The 2011A from DPA features a Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology. In a 2011 capsule, two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom re-built into a double diaphragm, one-capsule composition. The capsules are loaded to the supreme Reference Standard preamps instead of the tiny miniature FET preamp from the miniature mics, offering, even more, air and precision.
