This Compact Cardioid Mic Is a Solid Performer
Close-miking just got a whole lot easier, thanks to the DPA 2011C. Integrating an MMC2011 capsule and MMP-C compact preamp, this twin-diaphragm cardioid microphone yields impressive clarity, richness, and dynamic range. The 2011C is built for the stage, exhibiting excellent separation and stellar gain-to-feedback performance. On top of that, you'll experience fast transient response, outstanding SPL handling, and superb frequency response. The 2011C is incredibly flexible — its modular design allows you to swap out its capsule or preamp for other d:dicate or d:facto components.

MMC2011 twin-diaphragm cardioid microphone capsule
Combining the acclaimed sound quality of DPA's d:dicate mics and the convenience of their d:screet and d:fine series, the MMC2011 capsule achieves a tremendously balanced sound. Featuring two opposite-facing miniature capsules rolled into a single unit, the MMC2011 delivers the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise exhibited by larger diaphragms. You can expect superb transient and frequency response, as well as impressive SPL handling from this microphone capsule.
MMP-C compact microphone preamp
The MMP-C compact preamp features active drive for impedance balancing, and exhibits a slightly softer character than the other preamps in DPA's d:dicate series. It injects the DPA 2011C with incredible clarity, richness, and dynamic range — a serious step up from miniature FET preamps.
The d:dicate series provides serious flexibility
The 2011C is part of DPA's versatile d:dicate series. This series allows you to mix and match capsules and preamps, so that you can achieve the sound and performance you're striving for. It sounds complicated, but it's not. In fact, at Sweetwater we've found that these mics are painfully simple to set up. Imagine being able to effortlessly transform your microphone into a completely different configuration. And no tools are required!
