DPA Microphones 4060 Lavalier Microphone

The IP58 rating means this microphone is highly resistant to dust and can withstand immersion in water, making it exceptionally durable for outdoor shoots or intense stage performances where sweat is a factor. It is built to survive the harsh conditions that would typically damage standard lavalier mics.

Because it captures sound equally from all directions, you don't have to worry about precise mic placement or the speaker turning their head away from the capsule. It provides a very natural, consistent sound, though it will pick up more ambient room noise than a directional microphone.

These grids allow you to physically alter the microphone's frequency response to suit different mounting positions. The soft-boost grid is typically used for chest placement to compensate for the body's natural absorption of high frequencies, while the high-boost grid is ideal for head-worn applications to add clarity.

Yes, the cable is Kevlar-reinforced, which significantly increases its tensile strength and resistance to the wear and tear common in film and theater environments. It is designed to withstand frequent rigging, unrigging, and the physical stress of being hidden under costumes.

The microphone uses a MicroDot connector, but the kit includes an XLR adapter that allows you to plug it directly into standard professional mixers or recorders that provide 12-48V phantom power. If you need to connect to a wireless bodypack, you may need to purchase a separate adapter specific to your transmitter brand.

CORE+ technology expands the microphone's dynamic range, which minimizes distortion and increases clarity, especially when capturing loud sound sources. It ensures that the audio remains clean and detailed even if the speaker suddenly raises their voice or performs at high sound pressure levels.
