About DPA Microphones 4080 CORE+

Cardioid lavalier mic optimized for chest placement
The 4080 Cardioid Lavalier captures the human voice with an unusually high degree of definition. This mic offers maximum side rejection and excellent sonic focus on the subject. It is designed for broadcast, conference and other live performances both in the studio and in the field.

The mic is acoustically pre-equalized, offering a 4 dB presence boost, which matches the mic's chest placement perfectly. This makes the voice more distinguishable and improves speech intelligibility. Professionals will appreciate that it is lightweight and offers excellent speech reproduction.

This cardioid condenser lavalier microphone is delivered with a pre-mounted black pop filter in a holder with an integrated shock mount, fixed on a clip. An additional white pop filter is also included. Because of the flexible and practical mounting solution, the mic can easily be turned in all directions so it fits both left- and right-buttoned shirts.

CORE+ by DPA
CORE+ is a revolutionary leap ahead in microphone design, blurring the lines between what is and isn't acoustically possible. This technology neutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone making any residual distortion imperceptible to the naked ear and virtually unmeasurable.

Audio will never be the same
Removing these remnants of distortion allows sound engineers to capture a new level of audio clarity easily and efficiently, so they can shape an extraordinary listening experience for the audience.

• Effectively negates microphone distortion across the entire dynamic range
• Captures the purest, clearest sound at the source
• Lets sound engineers focus on shaping an extraordinary experience for the audience
• Reduces hassle from unpredictable challenges in the live show environment

Distortion free
Microphones with CORE+ deliver crystal clear, distortion-free sound across the entire dynamic range of the microphone. Anyone seeking the highest possible sound quality will appreciate CORE+.

Whether recording or amplifying content, the sound will remain clear and completely undistorted by the microphone, even when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes.

From high to low SPL
Especially at higher sound pressure levels and with multiple microphones on stage, the elimination of distortion will enhance the overall clarity and transparency of the entire sound image.

For miniature microphones in particular, sound professionals in theatres and film industry are the primary beneficiaries.

Neutralizing distortion
Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels.
