The DPA 4011 cardioid has been in production for 20 years this year. To celebrate this important milestone, DPA is offering the 4011-TL with a special 11% price discount via local representatives. This includes a free-of-charge engraving, allowing customers to own a personalised version of one of the best quality microphones available. This offer is valid till the end of April 2009.

"When the 4011 was launched in 1988, its use was entirely aimed for the studio," says DPA's co-founder Morten Stove. "However it has become just as popular on the live stage, due to its fantastic specifications."

Over its 20-year history, the DPA 4011 has become the mic of choice among professionals for handling high SPLs while simultaneously delivering a clear, well defined sound. Noted for its flat on-axis frequency response, the 4011 is also extremely linear off-axis, making it ideal as a spot microphone in addition to its close-miking applications. As testimony to the 4011's instant recognition by the pro audio industry, it immediately won a TEC Award for Technical Excellence and Creativity following its launch in 1989.

Thousands of 4011s are in use internationally, with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, the Rolling Stones, Seal, Monserrat Cabale and the KLF and Nigel Kennedy touring and recording with the mic.
