ST2011A Stereo Pair with 2011A Cardioids

  • Sensitivity selected pair
  • Superb stage separation and level control
  • All-round workhorses
  • PeliTM Case transportation and protection

The DPA ST2011A is a complete DPA 2011A Stereo Pair with two handpicked cardioid microphones, selected on sensitivity within ±1.5 dB making several stereo principles like XY and ORTF easy to obtain.

Finding its use on numerous stages and recording sessions, the ST2011A exhibits a previously unheard blend of clarity, richness and dynamic range, the 2011As perform close to much more exclusive microphone pairs.

The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of microphone/accessory inlays.

Included in this kit
Two carefully matched 2011A cardioid microphones, sturdy PeliTM case, holders, and windscreens.

 

Accessories

You may be interested in combining the ST2011A with:

SBS0400 Modular Stereo Boom w. Shock Mounts

The lightweight SBS0400 stereo boom addresses the need for quick and flexible ways to switch between stereo principles like AB, XY and ORTF. A central base with rotary joint allows the microphones to be angled equally. SBS0400 has hooks for suspending the boom in wires. The standard length is 40 cm (1.3 ft) but the boom can be further extended. Includes two SM1500 shock mounts (also available as SB0400 without shock mounts).

UA0836 Stereo Boom

The legendary, precision handcrafted DPA stereo boom for accurate and repeatable positioning. Has distance markings in centimeters and typical angle offset markings on holder bases. Can be stand mounted or ceiling suspended. Length: 54 cm. Also available as UA0837 without holders.

SM1500 Shock Mount, Modular

The SM1500 is a modular double pole construction on an adjustable mic stand base. Use this mount to decouple vibrations to your microphone.

TIP: Combined with the MB4000 Magnet Base, the SM1500 and 2011A make a good solution for on-frame mounting inside the piano with closed lid or on short stick for high isolation.
