Cardioid Condenser Microphone Stereo KitThe 3511 is a complete stereo kit for a broad range of recording applications using two 4011 Cardioid Microphones, carefully matched within 2dB on frequency response, sensitivity and self-noise. These cardioids are exceptionally linear in their frequency response - also off axis, giving you the natural experience. Several standard set-ups such as ORTF and XY are possible. The 4011s handle very high SPL and will therefore allow close placement as well as more distant. Often used for piano recordings of jazz or pop with a placement closer to the hammers or as overheads for drums.

The kit includes 2 different windscreens (one is for XY mounting of 2 mics), 2 very effective Shock Mounts, a precision-crafted Stereo Boom for secure mounting of microphone pairs for A-B stereo recordings and a spacer to allow XY or ORTF stereo set-ups on the boom. , 48v
