About: DPA 4061 CORE+ Omni Mic w/ Loud SPL - Black (MicroLock)

Get big sound and a small footprint with the 4061 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone, now with CORE+ & MicroLock.

• 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
• Modular adapter system fits most professional wireless systems

The 4061 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Loud SPL is acoustically identical to the 4060, but sensitivity adjusted to accommodate higher sound pressure levels (SPLs).

The mic handles SPL up to 144 dB peak before 10% THD occurs, making it one of the best miniatures for use on very loud sound sources, such as some instruments as well as some human voices, when placed close to the source.

About 10 dB less sensitive than the 4060, which works well for hidden applications, for example mounted on the head or forehead of a theater performer. In this placement, the sound pressure level is about 10 dB louder than what is encountered with chest placement (lapel microphone).

MicroLock

MicroLock is a dependable, secure locking microphone connector with limitless flexibility and reassuring reliability.

Introducing CORE+ by DPA

CORE+ is a revolutionary leap ahead in microphone design, blurring the lines between what is and isn’t acoustically possible.

CORE+ is a technology that neutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone making any residual distortion imperceptible to the naked ear and virtually unmeasurable.

Removing these remnants of distortion allows sound engineers to capture a new level of audio clarity easily and efficiently, so they can shape an extraordinary listening experience for the audience.

• Effectively negates microphone distortion across the entire dynamic range 
• Captures the purest, clearest sound at the source 
• Lets sound engineers focus on shaping an extraordinary experience for the audience
• Reduces hassle from unpredictable challenges in the live show environment

Loud SPL

This microphone is acoustically identical to the 4060 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Normal SPL, but its sensitivity is adjusted to accommodate higher sound pressure levels (SPLs).

The 4061 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Loud SPL can handle SPL up to 144 dB peak before clipping, making it one of the best miniatures for use on very loud sound sources, such as some instruments and human voices.

In comparison, the 4061 is about 10 dB less sensitive than the 4060 and therefore works well when used for hidden applications, for example mounted on the head or forehead of a theater performer. In this placement, the sound pressure level is about 10 dB louder than what you encounter with chest placement (lapel microphone).

Big sound – small footprint

This series contains the 4060, 4061, 4062, 4063 and 4071 Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Mics. Each version is tailored towards a specific application based on sensitivity, voltage and placement needs. They are all based on the original 4060; the very first miniature microphone developed by DPA from the best technology previously only used in hearing aids and measurement microphones. All of the mics in the series share important basic features, but each is optimized for particular applications.

The series was developed to withstand the toughest of conditions. They 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.
