DPA CORE 4061 Lav Mic (With Termination Options)

DPA CORE 4061 Lav Mic (With Termination Options)

Because of its small size, the DPA CORE 4061 Lav Mic exhibits an exceedingly accurate omnidirectional pattern, so does not need to be aimed directly at the sound source to achieve quality pickup. Originally designed for use with wireless systems in theatre, television and close-miked instrument applications, the DPA CORE 4061 Lav Mic With Termination Options, Lo-Sens is highly unobtrusive.

Now available with CORE+ & MicroLock®. 

CORE+ takes your miniature mic to the next level, neutralizing distortion across the entire dynamic range.

MicroLock – A dependable, secure locking microphone connector with limitless flexibility and reassuring reliability.

• Exceptional audio quality
• Uniform, consistent sound between DPA mics
• Extremely rugged and reliable
• Diminutive size made for flexible and easy concealment
• Large selection of clips, windscreens, grids and other accessories

The DPA CORE 4061 contain a 5.4 mm diameter pre-polarized condenser element with a vertical diaphragm. This unique, Double Vent Protection System makes the mics greatly resistant to humidity and sweat. These mics are also designed with a Kevlar-reinforced cable relief, which is built to withstand the constant twists, bends and pulls that are part of the everyday use in harsh environments.

The acoustic response of the 4060 Series can be modified by selecting the correct grid for the job. Two grids are supplied with each microphone (not the 4071, which includes a fixed grid). The pre-fitted Soft Boost Grid gives a 3 dB soft boost at 8-20 kHz. It should be used when the microphone is mounted on the performer’s head as well as in most other applications where you need a natural-sounding microphone. When fitted, the High Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB soft boost around 12 kHz for applications where the microphones chest-placement is preferred. Both of these grids are made of anodized stainless steel, giving a tough and scratch resistant surface. They can be detached from the microphone and cleaned of sweat, makeup, etc.

Connector options:
If you select a connector from the list, we will hardwire (terminate) the connector by snipping off the Microdot and solder on the newly selected connector. This is done in house with industry-standard connectors.

This microphone is acoustically identical to the d:screet 4060 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Hi-Sens, but the sensitivity is adjusted to match some of the more sensitive transmitters on the market.

It is up to the user to decide on the correct placement to achieve the desired timbre. The mic can handle 144 dB peak before clipping, allowing the microphone to be used even for snare drums, guitar/bass speaker cabinets or other high SPL sound sources.

Legacy or CORE the choice is yours
The legacy d:screet 4061has always been, and still is, one of the clearest, consistent and robust miniature microphones you can find on the market. It is known for working across a wide dynamic range as well as exhibiting low distortion across all SPLs. But, if you need to squeeze a little more performance out of your mics, choose CORE. The d:screet CORE 4061 for Loud SPL gets a 14 dB increase in both THD and Dynamic range:

Total harmonic distortion: < 1% THD up to 137 dB SPL peak
Dynamic range: Typ. 111 dB

With the CORE by DPA the d:screet 4061 for Loud SPL gets a 14 dB increase in both THD and dynamic range.

Total harmonic distortion: < 1% THD up to 129 dB SPL peak
Dynamic range: Typ. 106 dB
