DPA 4011 8-Inch Full Gooseneck Microphone, XLR, Black

The DPA 4011-DF-G-B01-015 8-Inch Full Gooseneck Microphone in black with XLR connection is a top - notch audio solution. It uses the MMC4011 Cardioid Microphone Capsule, offering excellent directional quality and attention to detail. The first - order cardioid pickup pattern separates sound sources superbly, and the flat on - axis frequency response and great phase response reproduce the original sound faithfully. The off - axis response is smooth too, accurately reflecting the original sound. Thanks to its modular design, the 4011 Cardioid Microphone Boom can be paired with podium booms of 15, 30, or 45 cm (6, 12, or 18 in). For floor stands, long booms of 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in) combined with dedicated accessories make a high - quality stage voice mic. There are different models available, like the 4011 - DF - G - B01 - 120 with a 122 cm (48 in) boom, 4011 - DF - G - B01 - 015 with a 20 cm (8 in) boom, etc. Technical specs include a cardioid directional pattern, pre - polarized condenser cartridge, 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response, and it requires P48 Phantom Power.

Using the DPA 4011 microphone is quite simple. First, connect it to your audio device using the XLR cable. Make sure your device can supply P48 Phantom Power as this microphone needs it for full performance. Place the microphone at a suitable distance from the sound source, usually around 30 cm (11.8 in) for best results. When using different boom lengths, choose the one that fits your setup, whether it's a podium or a floor stand. For maintenance, keep the microphone in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures (it works best between - 40C to 45C or - 40F to 113F) and high humidity (up to 90% relative humidity). Clean the microphone gently with a soft, dry cloth. Don't forget to check the cable regularly for any signs of damage. Also, ensure that the load impedance of your connected device is at least 2 k OHM to avoid any audio issues.
