DPA 4060 CORE+ Microphone

A matched pair ensures that both microphones have identical sensitivity and frequency response, which is critical for accurate stereo imaging. Without this consistency, one side of your recording could sound louder or tonally different than the other, ruining the balance of your stereo field.

Yes. The kit includes non-marking adhesive mounts specifically designed to attach to sensitive surfaces without leaving residue or causing damage. This allows you to place the mics exactly where you need them for the best acoustic capture without worrying about the instrument's finish.

The boundary layer mount places the microphone capsule very close to a flat surface, which eliminates phase cancellations caused by sound reflecting off that surface. This technique, often called 'acoustic zoom,' results in a clearer, more direct sound with increased gain before feedback, making it excellent for capturing instruments or ambient room noise.

The 4060 CORE+ is highly versatile and can be powered via standard P48 phantom power when used with the appropriate adapter. If you are using them with a wireless bodypack, they operate on a voltage range of 5V to 10V.

These microphones have a maximum SPL of 134 dB, meaning they can handle very loud sound sources without distorting. While they are miniature, they are robust enough to capture the full dynamic range of a grand concert choir or the sharp transients of acoustic percussion.

Because they are omnidirectional, they will capture sound from all directions, which is great for natural, open-sounding recordings. However, if you are in a room with poor acoustics, you will hear more of that space compared to a directional microphone, so placement is key to getting the balance you want.
