DPA Microphones Cardioid Mic Capsule

The principal appeal of the DPA MMC4011 Cardioid Microphone Capsule is its directional quality and attention to detail. The cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources. It is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals, as it is for spot-miking symphonies. It can also handle incredibly high sound levels. A flat on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a totally 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.
