DPA Microphones4060 CORE Omni Mic, Normal SPL, Brown, MicroDot
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for discreet close placement, the brown 4060 CORE is a miniature omnidirectional lavalier mic with a MicroDot connection. Its pickup pattern does not require direct aiming at the sound source, which makes positioning less exacting when capturing speech or close-miking instruments. The Normal SPL version accepts peaks up to 134 dB SPL, while its small 0.5-inch body and 5.9-foot cable keep the setup compact. It suits wireless work where a balanced signal-to-noise result is needed from a more remote or damped source.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Theater, television, or film speech capture where a small omnidirectional lavalier can be placed close to talent.
- Close-miking instruments when direct microphone aiming is impractical or unwanted.
- Wireless-system setups that need a brown MicroDot lavalier microphone.
