Using the MMC4011 Cardioid Microphone Capsule for its directional quality and attention to detail, The DPA Microphones 4011 48" Cardioid 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. The 48" 4011 Gooseneck Microphone is ideal for floor stand applications.

DPA gooseneck microphones have quickly become a very popular choice for podium mics. 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 simultaneous 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 the DPA mics gives you trouble-free installations and delivers pristine, clear sound. DPA's gooseneck microphone solutions are primarily for the installation segment.
