DPA Microphones 4061 CORE Low-Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone with Instrument Accessories Kit (Black)

The black DPA 4061 CORE Low-Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone with Instrument Accessories Kit is a discreet, flexible microphone solution aimed at project studios and production companies seeking a flexible microphone system for in-studio and on-stage events. At the heart of the kit is a miniature, moisture-resistant mic for use with wired or wireless systems for broadcast, performance, and theatrical applications. This configuration includes a comprehensive set of accessories, including mounting options for instrument recording along with windscreens, an XLR adapter, and protective cases.

The electret-condenser capsule delivers crisp, clear, and intelligible speech, while the rugged yet unobtrusive design is well suited to the demands of professional live stage work and presentations. This version of the 4061 uses DPA s CORE technology to deliver a 4 dB increase in dynamic range and a 14 dB reduction in noise over the 4061 Legacy model.

An interchangeable High-Boost Grid is included that protects the capsule and alters the sonic character of the microphone, creating a peak at 12 kHz, helpful for chest placement. With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the mic is more than capable of handling a wide variety of instruments as well as loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters-making it a discreet and flexible tool for houses of worship and live event productions.

The 4061 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector. The mic is compatible with various wireless microphone transmitters via a separately available adapter for the compatible transmitter. This instrument kit includes an XLR adapter for use with a wide variety of professional equipment. The adapter allows the mic to be powered via 12 to 48V phantom power. Also included are two clips to mount the mic to stringed instruments, a magnetic mount, a surface mount with pieces of adhesive tape, a dual-mic lapel clip, an inner plastic case, and a zippered traveling case.

A Reliable, Broadcast-Quality Lavalier

Miniature Mic with a Crisp, Clear Sound

The 4061 CORE features a 5.4mm capsule that enables the microphone to be inconspicuous and easily disguised in clothing or costumes. The vertical diaphragm design offers a clear and natural sound optimized for the human voice.

Boost Grid Included to Tailor High Frequencies

The included High-Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB boost around 12 kHz for applications where chest-placement is preferred. The grid is made of tough and scratch-resistant anodized stainless steel, allowing it to be detached and cleaned.

Additional Headroom for Loud Instruments & Vocals

The 4061 CORE features a less-sensitive capsule designed to handle loud instruments and vocals at levels up to 144 dB SPL before clipping. This also makes the mic well suited to concealment in clothing and costumes and allows the mic to be hidden at the subject s hairline without overloading the input levels.

Omnidirectional Polar Pattern

The forgiving omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all around the mic and provides a consistent frequency response, even for off-axis sound. This helps to supply clear, intelligible speech and vocals, even when the talent turns away from the microphone.

Tough, Moisture-Resistant Construction

Engineered with a double-vent protection system, the 4061 is certified IP58 for dust and moisture resistance. The rugged 5.9 cable is built with Kevlar strain relief to survive the constant twists, bends, and pulls that are part of everyday use in harsh environments.

Included Instrument Mounts and Accessories

This version of the DPA 4061 CORE also includes:

• One DMM0007 Universal Surface Mount: This mount allows the mic to be mounted in the best-sounding position for a wide variety of instruments, from acoustic guitar through grand piano and drums. The mount uses special non-marking adhesive discs for attachment.
• Two MHS6005 Lavalier Microphone Holders for String Instruments: Made from soft rubber, these are used to attach the mic to a violin, viola, cello, or double bass. The holder is mounted between the tailpiece and the bridge and can be turned upwards or downwards so that the mic will be placed either over or under the strings, depending on the desired sound color or sound level. The lav mic is secured by its cable in a little clip, while the holder itself has a firm grip on two strings of the instrument with small hooks.
• Five foam windscreens to reduce wind noise.
• One magnetic mount for performers.
• One dual-mic holder with vampire pin for presentations and interviews.

• To hide the mic, the DMM0021 Concealer attaches safely and securely to clothing and costumes and is designed to resist clothing and rustling noise.
