DPA 4061 CORE+ Omni Miniature Microphone, Loud SPL, MicroLock
The DPA 4061 CORE+ Omni Miniature 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 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone, Loud SPL can handle sound pressure levels of up to 144dB peak before clipping. It is one of the best miniatures for use on very loud sound sources.
In comparison, the 4061 is about 10dB less sensitive than the 4060 and therefore works well when used for hidden applications, for example mounted on the head or forehead of a Theatre performer. In this placement, the sound pressure level is about 10dB louder than what you encounter with chest placement (lapel microphone).
Colours Available
The DPA 4061 CORE+ Omni Miniature Microphone, Loud SPL is available in four colours:
- Black
- Brown
- Beige
- White
An even more robust, heavy-duty version is also available.
Introducing CORE+ by DPA
DPA CORE+ is a revolutionary leap ahead in microphone design, blurring the lines between what is and isn’t acoustically possible. This technology neutralises distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone making any residual distortion imperceptible to the naked ear and virtually unmeasurable.
Audio will never be the same
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.
Features of CORE+:
- 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
Distortion free...
Microphones with CORE+ deliver crystal clear, distortion-free sound across the entire dynamic range of the microphone. Anyone seeking the highest possible sound quality will appreciate CORE+.
Whether recording or amplifying content, the sound will remain clear and completely undistorted by the microphone, even when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes.
...from high to low SPL
Especially at higher sound pressure levels and with multiple microphones on stage, the elimination of distortion will enhance the overall clarity and transparency of the entire sound image.
For miniature microphones in particular, sound professionals in theatres and film industry are the primary beneficiaries.
Neutralising distortion
Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels.
