The DPA 4011-DF-G-B01-045 is a high - quality, 18 - inch top and bottom gooseneck microphone in sleek black with an XLR connector. It uses the MMC4011 cardioid microphone capsule, offering great directional quality and detailed sound capture. The first - order cardioid pickup pattern separates sound sources superbly. It has a flat on - axis frequency response and excellent phase response, accurately reproducing the original sound. The off - axis response is smooth too. Thanks to its modular design, the 4011 can be paired with podium booms of 15, 30, 45 cm (6, 12, 18 in), or longer 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in) booms for floor stands. There are different models with various boom lengths available. The technical specs show its high - end performance, including a 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response, low equivalent noise levels, and high dynamic range. It requires P48 phantom power and has an XLR - 3M connector.
Using the DPA 4011 microphone is easy. First, connect it to your audio system using the XLR connector. Make sure to supply P48 phantom power for full performance. You can adjust the gooseneck to position the microphone where you need it. When using it, keep in mind that it's very sensitive, so avoid getting too close or making sudden movements near it. For maintenance, keep the microphone clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures (keep it between - 40C to 45C) or high humidity (up to 90% relative humidity). If you're using different boom lengths, handle them carefully to avoid damage. When not in use, store it in a safe place, away from dust and potential impacts.
