From DPA Microphones (Bruel & Kjaer)
DPA’s Compact Cardioid range is proof that stunning clarity and absolute neutrality are not solely the characteristics of full-sized studio condenser mics alone.
Capable of handling high SPLs without distortion, the 4011C is perfectly tailored for close-miking applications, minimizing bleed from other instruments. When used to spot-mike larger orchestras, these mics are hard to beat, and in film and TV studios, they are excellent for off-camera voice recording or Foley work. For live on-camera recordings, their matte black finish gives them a classic yet inconspicuous appearance, while for sound reinforcement in concert halls, theatres and houses of worship, they provide clean, natural sound while reducing the noticeable effect of lighting reflection.
