Narrative:

Climbing through approximately 11;500 feet the master warning illuminated along with the cabin altitude warning. I turned ATC over to the first officer; the PF; who stopped the climb and coordinated a descent back to 10;000 feet while I executed QRH emergency procedures. We declared an emergency for an immediate return to our departure airport. There were no further complications and we landed on runway 8 approximately 10 minutes after receiving the warning.
