DPA Microphones d:screet CORE 4071 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Presence Boost, Loud SPL, MicroDot, Black

Over the years, the d:screet CORE 4071 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone with Presence Boost has become an indispensable tool for professionals seeking high-quality, reliable audio capture. This exceptional lavalier microphone is engineered with a tailored presence boost, offering a significant enhancement of typically 5 dB at 4 to 6 kHz. This specific boost is crucial for microphones placed on the chest, as it compensates for the natural damping of consonant frequencies in this position, thereby ensuring crystal-clear speech intelligibility.

Crafted for durability and performance, the d:screet 4071 is capable of withstanding sound pressure levels up to 144 dB before clipping, making it a robust choice for even the loudest of environments. Its small footprint belies the big sound it delivers, ensuring that despite its diminutive size, it does not compromise on audio quality. The microphone's uniform and consistent sound profile allows for seamless integration with other DPA mics, making it a versatile addition to any professional audio setup.

The d:screet 4071 is designed with an acoustical low-cut at 100 Hz, effectively eliminating undesirable frequencies below this threshold. This built-in feature not only removes low-frequency rumble and noise but also mitigates the proximity effect, providing a cleaner, more focused audio capture. This makes the microphone particularly suitable for Electronic News Gathering (ENG) crews and in-studio reporters who require precise speech reproduction without the need for external processing.

For film production use, the d:screet 4071 excels in its ability to be discreetly concealed within clothing, while still delivering exceptional audio fidelity. Its omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound with equal sensitivity from all directions, offering a natural and realistic audio experience that is often preferred over cardioid microphones for ambient sound capture and miking large sound sources.

Despite the challenges that omni microphones can face in live situations, such as potential feedback, the d:screet 4071 is designed to perform optimally when placed close to the sound source. Its resistance to wind, pop, and handling noise further underscores its flexibility and utility in a variety of recording scenarios.

The microphone's innovative MicroDot termination and modular adapter system ensure compatibility with a wide range of professional wireless systems. This flexibility allows users to switch adapters as needed, accommodating changes in wireless systems without the need to invest in new microphones. The d:screet 4071 maintains its pristine sound quality across different configurations, ensuring a seamless transition between systems.

DPA Microphones works with an extensive list of wireless brands, including AKG, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Shure, and many others, to provide adapters that guarantee a secure and reliable connection. For those who prefer a wired setup, hardwired versions of the microphone are available with various connectors, such as 3-pin LEMO, Mini-Jack, and TA4F Mini-XLR, as well as an XLR adapter option.

In summary, the d:screet CORE 4071 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone with Presence Boost stands out as a professional, high-quality, and innovative audio solution that is both flexible and easy to conceal. Its robust construction, exceptional audio quality, and compatibility with numerous wireless systems make it a top choice for audio professionals across various industries.
