Common name: DPA Microphones 8011

Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage

A successor to the 8010 the 8011 is the only 48 V phantom powered waterproof microphone specially designed to handle the high sound pressure levels and high static ambient pressure in water and other fluids. The Hydrophone uses a piezo-electric sensing element which is frequency compensated to match the special acoustic conditions under water. A 10 m high-quality audio cable is vulcanised onto the body of the Hydrophone and fitted with a standard 3-pin XLR. The 8010 Hydrophone is the ultimate choice for professional sound recordings in water, or under other extreme conditions where conventional microphones would be adversely affected.
