DPA 2061 MICROPHONE Miniature, omni, loud SPL, white, 3.5mm jack, with accessories

DPA’s CORE 6000 series of sub-miniature microphones, formally known as the d:screet series, feature their ‘smallest ever’ microphone capsule. Designed for use in pro audio markets such as broadcast, theatre and film, the 6000 series sub-miniature microphones are 3mm in diameter, ‘two millimetres smaller than the DPA’s existing 4000 series’ microphones.

The CORE technology used in the capsules provides a more defined sound by minimizing distortion and expanding the dynamic range. Although originally designed for use with wireless systems in theatre, television and close-positioned instrument applications, the omnidirectional capsules also use ‘hermetic sealing’ and a ‘nano coating’ to provide an IP rating of 58 – making the microphones applicable to on field sports where moisture from the body or atmosphere are unavoidable.

6060 CORE - For normal SPL

Available in black, beige, brown, or white the omnidirectional 6060 CORE sub-miniature lavalier microphone is 3mm in diameter and has a capsule and cap that are manufactured from stainless steel and ‘treated with Physical vapor deposition (PVD)’ to give a coating that aids durability. The cap is removable for cleaning. The capsules also use ‘hermetic sealing’ and a ‘nano coating’ to provide an IP rating of 58 – making the microphones applicable to on field sports where moisture from the body or atmosphere are unavoidable. 6060 CORE has a dynamic range of 102dB typical, and a maximum SPL of 134dB with a nominal sensitivity of 20mV/Pa. The microphone has the same cable relief as the 5mm CORE microphones and has a fixed cable of 1.8m with a diameter of 1.6mm. The microphones are fitted with cable terminated in a 'MicroLock' connector. A range of adapters for different wireless transmitters and direct cable connection is available.

Frequency response: 20Hz-20kHz; 40Hz-20kHz, +/-2dB (with 4dB soft boost at 8-20kHz). Equivalent noise level: 24dB typical, A-weighted. Signal to noise ratio: 70dB typical, A-weighted. Weight: 8g, including cable and MicroLock connector.

6061 CORE - For loud SPL

6061 capsule has all the physical properties of the 6060 capsule however it has been designed to handle ‘very loud sound sources’ and typically used as ‘a hidden head mounted mic in theatre’ style application. 6061 CORE has a dynamic range of 102dB typical, and a maximum SPL of 144dB with a nominal sensitivity of 6mV/Pa. The microphones are fitted with cable terminated in a 'MicroLock' connector. A range of adapters for different wireless transmitters and direct cable connection is available.

Frequency response: 20Hz-20kHz; 40Hz-20kHz, +/-2dB (with softboost at 8-20kHz). Equivalent noise level: 26dB typical, A-weighted. Signal to noise ratio: 68dB typical, A-weighted.

DPA CORE+ microphones builds on the standards set by CORE series microphones. CORE+ is an advance in DPA microphone design 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 audio clarity more easily and efficiently, so they can shape the listening experience for the audience. CORE+ microphones have been designed for use in theatre, film, live and studio conditions and feature either fixed termination or modular termination via DPA's MicroLock adapter.

4060 CORE+ - For normal SPL

Available in black, brown, beige and white finishes, 4060 CORE+ lavalier microphone has an pre-polarised omnidirectional capsule designed for normal SPL use.

The microphone can be terminated with MicroLock connector, compatible with MicroLock adapters; or fixed type termination of TA4F, 3.5mm locking jack, or 3-pin Lemo. The microphone has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, dynamic range of 106dB typical, a maximum SPL of 144dB with a nominal sensitivity of 20mV/Pa at -34dB re 1V/Pa, and a THD of 128dB SPL RMS, 129dB peak at less than 0.5%. Weight: 7.5g, with cable and MicroLock connector.

4071 CORE+ Film Kit

Formally known as the DPA d:screet series, this range of DPA CORE microphones implements new technology within existing DPA capsules, to provide a more defined sound by minimising distortion and expanding the dynamic range. Although originally designed for use with wireless systems in theatre, television and close-positioned instrument applications, the omnidirectional capsules also use 'hermetic sealing' and a 'nano coating' to provide an IP rating of 58 - particularly relevant to on-field sports, where moisture from the body or atmosphere are unavoidable.

The acoustic response of the microphone is selected by the choice of two 'protection grids' supplied with each microphone. The short grid gives a 3dB soft boost at 8-20kHz and is intended to be used when the microphone is mounted on the performer's head. The long grid gives a 10dB boost at 12kHz, intended for chest placement. The grids can be detached from the microphone and cleaned of sweat, make-up etc. with alcohol. The microphones are fitted with cable terminated in a 'MicroDot' connector. A range of adapters for different wireless transmitters and direct cable connection is available. A range of fixing clips (not included) are also available.
