ST4011A Stereo Pair with 4011A Cardioids

• World-wide cardioid reference mic
• Handles very high sound pressure levels
• Carefully matched within ±1 dB
• Peli^TM Case transportation and protection

4011A cardioids are exceptionally linear in their frequency response – also off axis, giving you the natural experience. They handle extremely high SPL and will therefore allow for close placement and are often used for piano recordings with a placement closer to the hammers or as overheads for drums. 

The DPA ST4011A is a complete DPA 4011A 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 4011A 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 inlay.

Included in this kit

Two carefully matched 4011A cardioid microphones, sturdy Peli^TM case, holders, and windscreens.

The SM1500 is a modular double pole construction on an adjustable mic stand base. Use this mount to decouple vibrations to your microphone.

TIP: Combined with the MB4000 Magnet Base, the SM1500 and 4011A make a good solution for on-frame mounting inside the piano with closed lid or on short stick for high isolation.
