The ST2011A Stereo Pair with 2011A Cardioid Microphones from DPA is a kit that contains two 2011A Cardioid Microphones, two microphone holders, two windscreens, and a Peli foam-lined carrying case. The microphones are matched within a sensitivity of ±1.5 dB to provide accurate sonic reproduction. There is a cardioid polar pattern for obtaining several stereo miking techniques, including XY patterns and ORTF.

Description
The wide and versatile d:dicate™ Microphone series is legendary in the high-end recording and film production industry. Delivering clean, accurate sound, the mics in this series are used by professionals, who understand sound and insist on only using the best.
2011 Cardioid Stereo Pair
This complete stereo pair contains two handpicked d:dicate™ 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphones, selected on sensitivity within ±1.5 dB. These mics make several stereo principles like XY and ORTF easy to obtain. The pair contains mics, windscreens and clips all packaged in a Peli™ Case.
The 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone
Inside the 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone, two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom rebuilt. They are placed into a double-diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. These capsules provide fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth.
Inside the MMC2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Capsule, two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom rebuilt. They are placed into a double-diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. These capsules provide fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth.
The capsules are loaded to the supreme d:dicate™ Microphone series preamplifiers instead of the tiny miniature FET ones. This gives the sound more air and precision.
ST2011A Stereo Pair These mics are acclaimed for their close-miking excellence and hi-SPL handling. Optimized for onstage use, it has been used on many stages as well as recording sessions. They exhibit a previously unheard blend of clarity, richness and dynamic range. The off-axis response is linear but in a smaller frequency bandwidth. This makes stage separation and gain-to-feedback higher. The mic level is easier to control.
The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of the microphone/accessory inlays.
