Overview
Modular flexibility
The MMC2011 capsule is part of the flexible DPA Reference Standard series. The 2011A with the MMP-A preamplifier is the audiophile's choice with low distortion and total accurate and faithful sound, where the 2011C with the MMP-C compact preamplifier offers a subtle character alteration with a bit more body" to the low end in addition to its easier-to-position approach.
Note regarding acoustic center of MMC2011 capsule
The MMC2011 cardioid capsule benefits from the unique DPA Microphones Twin-Diaphragm capsule and Interference Tube technologies. This combines the advantages of small capsules (fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth) with lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. The use and control of interference tubes has become a DPA area of perfection and for the MMC2011, the Interference Tube assists in controlling both directivity and low frequency response.
