Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The black 6066 CORE is an omnidirectional, MicroDot-connected headset microphone with a 3 mm capsule. Its adjustable one-size frame uses spring-assisted three-point ear grips, while the 130 mm boom adjusts in length and height and can move from one side of the frame to the other. The rear cable guide routes the 1.3 m cable downward and separates cable movement from boom adjustment. IP58 certification adds protection against water and sweat exposure.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Performers needing a headset frame that can be adjusted on site for individual wearers.
  • Live use where the boom position needs length and height adjustment without bending it.
  • Setups that benefit from routing the cable down the performer's back.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Wireless systems that require a microphone connector other than MicroDot.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can the boom be worn on either side?

Yes. It detaches below the ear and can be moved from the right side of the frame to the left.

02How is the headset adjusted?

The frame resizes with a simple adjustment mechanism, and the boom adjusts in both length and height.

03What connector does it use?

It uses a MicroDot connector.

04Can the boom and cable be replaced separately?

Yes. A service connector allows the boom and cable to be replaced independently.
