DPA 4080 CORE+ Lavalier Mic

CORE+ technology is designed to minimize distortion and expand the dynamic range of the microphone. This ensures that even when a speaker projects loudly, the audio remains natural, clear, and free from the harsh clipping often found in smaller condenser capsules.

While the 4080 is excellent for controlled environments like conferences or studios, it is a cardioid microphone and is sensitive to wind. It includes pop filters to help with plosives, but for outdoor use, you may want to add a dedicated windscreen to prevent wind noise.

The microphone is acoustically pre-equalized to boost speech clarity, which means you will likely need to do less corrective EQ in your editing software. It is designed to sound 'broadcast-ready' right out of the box, saving you time during the mixing process.
