DPA Microphones6060 CORE Omni Submini Mic, Normal SPL, Black, TA4F Mini-XLR
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
When discreet placement matters, the black 6060 CORE puts an omnidirectional condenser capsule into a 3 mm subminiature format with a TA4F Mini-XLR connector. It is rated to 134 dB SPL peak, while its 40 Hz–20 kHz effective range includes a 4 dB soft boost from 8–20 kHz. The removable stainless-steel cap can be cleaned and clicks back onto the body. PVD coating, an integrated strain relief, and IP58 certification are part of its protection-focused design.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Low-visibility microphone placement where a 3 mm capsule and matte black finish are useful.
- Situations needing a removable microphone cap that can be cleaned and reattached securely.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups that require a connector other than the listed TA4F Mini-XLR.
