Whenever a small, lightweight, inconspicuous microphone for top-quality sound is required, the compact design and uniform unidirectional response of the d:dictate 4011C makes it the perfect choice. They are particularly popular as spot mics for classical recording and on-stage close mics for live sound.

The DPA ST4011C is a complete DPA 4011C Stereo Pair with two carefully factory-matched first order cardioid microphones. Even though the standard tolerances on DPA Reference Standards are extremely low, a stereo match is even closer. The specially selected DPA 4011C microphones are matched within ±1 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity.

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