The DPA Microphones 2011A Stereo Pair mics are acclaimed for their close-miking excellence and hi-SPL handling. Optimized for onstage use, these mics have been used on many stages as well as recording sessions. They exhibit a previously unheard blend of clarity, richness and dynamic range. The off-axis response is linear but in a smaller frequency bandwidth. This makes stage separation and gain-to-feedback higher, and the mic level is easier to control.

The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of the microphone/accessory inlays.

The wide and versatile pencil mic series is legendary in the high-end recording and film production industry. Delivering clean, accurate sound, the mics in this series are used by professionals, who understand sound and insist on only using the best.
