DPA 4071 CORE+ Lavalier Microphone

When you mount a lavalier microphone on a person's chest, clothing and the body itself can dampen high frequencies. The 4071 CORE+ includes a built-in presence boost to counteract this, ensuring speech remains crisp and intelligible without needing heavy EQ in post-production.

Yes. The 4071 CORE+ uses DPA's modular adapter system, which allows you to swap out connectors to match almost any wireless bodypack system, including those from Shure, Sennheiser, Sony, and Lectrosonics.

Not likely. It features CORE+ technology designed to minimize distortion, and it can handle sound pressure levels up to 144 dB. This makes it highly reliable for theater or broadcast scenarios where audio levels can spike unexpectedly.

Absolutely. Its rugged, compact design is built to withstand the rigors of professional production environments. However, because it is an omnidirectional microphone, you will need to use proper wind protection if you are recording outdoors.

It depends on your setup. If you are connecting it to a wireless bodypack, it runs on the 5-10V power provided by the transmitter. If you want to connect it directly to a wired input, you will need a DPA adapter that converts the signal to standard 48V phantom power.

An omnidirectional pattern captures sound equally from all directions, which makes it very forgiving regarding mic placement and less prone to 'proximity effect'—that unnatural bass boost you get when a mic is too close to the source. It provides a natural, open sound that is ideal for dialogue.
