DPA Microphones has announced the new members of the Standard Reference Microphone family: The DPA 2006 omni and 2011 cardioid.

The pioneering twin diaphragm capsules bridge the gap between DPA’s market leading miniature microphones, which feature the best miniature capsule in the world, and the ultimate Reference Standard capsules.

Combine the preamps from the company's Reference Standard series and its miniature capsules and you get sturdy, sweet-sounding mics. The DPA 2006 and 2011 microphones are due to start shipping in March. The DPA 2006 and 2011 were introduced at NAMM.
