The 3511ES Stereo Kit from DPA features two compact 4011ES cardioid microphones with active side cables, which have been factory-matched within ±1 dB for frequency response and sensitivity in the microphone's entire frequency bandwidth. The kit can be used to capture audio for close-up applications such as acoustic guitars, grand pianos, overheads, percussion, wind instruments, vocals, spot-miking symphonies, and more.

3511ES Stereo Kit with 4011ES Cardioids
This is a complete stereo kit with two compact d:dicate™ 4011ES Cardioid Microphones, with active side cables. The mics are carefully factory-matched within ±1 dB on frequency response and sensitivity in the microphone’s entire frequency bandwidth. The kit includes mics, windscreens, holders, clips, and much more.
Ideal for unobtrusive spot miking, such as hanging or table use, the d:dicate™ 4011ES Cardioid Microphone, Active Cable is an ultra-compact cardioid microphone from the modular d:dicate™ Microphones Series. The mic has a length of only 3.5 cm (1.4 in) and a low-key appearance.
The mic features an integrated cable solution. This allows it to be hung from the ceiling and create precise and repeatable positions and angles when spot miking orchestra sections or ambience atmospheres.
The 4011 Cardioid Microphone
The principal appeal of the 4011 Cardioid Microphone is its directional quality and attention to detail. This mic makes everything sounds like the original. The first-order cardioid pickup pattern provides superb separation between sound sources.
It is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals as it is for spot-miking symphonies. It can handle incredibly high sound levels.
A flat on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a totally faithful reproduction of the original sound. The off-axis response is similarly smooth so that any leakage is an accurate reflection of the original, though attenuated according to the true first-order cardioid pickup pattern.
