Using the MMC4011 Cardioid Microphone Capsule for its directional quality and attention to detail, the DPA Microphones 4011 Cardioid Gooseneck Mic makes everything sounds like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources.

A flat on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a 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.

Due to its modular nature, the 4011 Cardioid Microphone Boom can be combined with different lengths of podium booms—15, 30 or 45 cm (6, 12 or 18 in). If longer booms are needed for floor stands with visual elegance, DPA’s long booms at 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in) make a high-quality stage voice mic together with their dedicated accessories.

DPA gooseneck microphones have quickly become a popular choice for podium mics as well as for conference room usage as either tabletop or ceiling mount.

These microphones have, on numerous occasions, been the preferred type to turn to when high speech intelligibility is paramount. This, for instance, is the fact at parliaments where multiple languages are to be simultaneously interpreted and the interpreters must catch every word and nuances of the spoken word and in a split second deliver the perfect translation.

In conference use, boardroom applications and videoconference situations, this DPA mic gives you trouble-free installations and delivers pristine, clear sound.

DPA's gooseneck microphone solutions are primarily for the installation segment.
