DPA Microphones d:screet CORE 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone with Hardwired 3-Pin LEMO Connector, Normal SPL, Black

Enhance your audio recording capabilities with the d:screet CORE 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone, a professional-grade, high-quality lavalier microphone designed for optimal voice capture. Engineered by DPA Microphones, a leader in the audio industry, this durable and reliable mic is perfect for professionals seeking clear and focused sound reproduction in challenging acoustic environments.

The d:screet 4080 Cardioid Lavalier is meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional side rejection, ensuring that unwanted off-axis noise is minimized. Its cardioid polar pattern is heart-shaped, offering maximum sensitivity at the front while significantly reducing sensitivity from the sides and back. This design feature makes it an ideal choice for live stage performances, broadcast, conferences, and field recordings where directional audio capture is paramount.

This versatile microphone boasts a discreet and compact design, optimized for chest placement to ensure natural and clear speech reproduction. The acoustically pre-equalized mic provides a 4 dB presence boost, perfectly matching the chest placement to enhance voice distinction and improve intelligibility. Its lightweight construction and excellent speech reproduction make it a favorite among professionals.

The d:screet 4080 comes with a pre-mounted black pop filter in a holder with an integrated shock mount, fixed on a durable clip. An additional white pop filter is included to suit different clothing styles, ensuring the microphone remains unobtrusive. The flexible mounting solution allows for easy adjustment in all directions, accommodating both left and right-buttoned shirts with ease.

Understanding cardioid microphones is key to appreciating their performance. Unlike omnidirectional microphones that capture sound from all directions, cardioid mics like the d:screet 4080 are engineered to capture sound from the front, with natural off-axis sound coloration and damping. This unique capability is due to DPA's advanced capsule technique, which maintains sound quality from all angles while focusing on the subject.

The d:screet 4080's modular adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, thanks to its hardwired 3-pin LEMO connector and MicroDot termination. This flexibility allows for seamless integration with systems from Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Lectrosonics, Zaxcom, and more, ensuring consistent performance without connection issues. For wired setups, the microphone can be configured with an XLR connector, providing additional versatility for various recording scenarios.

In summary, the d:screet CORE 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone is the perfect tool for professionals who demand the best in audio clarity, directionality, and flexibility. Whether in the studio or on the go, this microphone stands out for its ability to deliver high-quality, focused audio in any setting.
