DPA 2011A

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.
