DPA Microphones 2011ES Overview

The 2011ES Cardioid Microphone, Active Side Cable from DPA is designed for capturing audio and can be used in various environments, including theater, recording studios, broadcast TV, and similar applications. It features a cardioid directional pattern and a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The microphone contains an MMP-E active cable preamp, which splits amplification and phantom power duties. Additionally, the microphone offers a modular capsule with high-quality directivity control and radio frequency interference rejection.

The 2011ES capsule is also suitable for capturing instruments in sound reinforcement applications. The capsule's twin diaphragm is designed to provide a fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth, resulting in low inherent noise. The microphone's modular design allows users to manually switch optional capsules for enhanced versatility and performance. The preamp terminates with a 12mm attachment at one end and an XLR connector at the other. The 2011ES features a compact appearance and includes a SM4000-C Suspension Mount.

Two opposite facing miniature capsules are custom re-built into a double diaphragm, one-capsule composition
Linear off-axis response in a small frequency bandwidth provides a high stage separation and gain-to-feedback with easy to control mic levels
Blends clarity, richness, and dynamics
Modular flexibility allows you to transform the basic 2011E microphone into a new configuration by combining it with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp
