About DPA Microphones d:screet CORE 4080 Mic, TA4F Mini-XLR, Normal SPL, Black

Let the d:screet CORE 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone with Hardwired TA4F Mini-XLR Connector, Normal SPL, Black, enhance your audio recording experience. This directional microphone is an excellent choice for challenging acoustic environments, capturing the human voice with an exceptional degree of clarity and definition.

Designed for a wide range of applications, from broadcasting and conferencing to live performances in both studio and field settings, this cardioid lavalier microphone is optimized for chest placement, ensuring superior speech reproduction. Its discreet, compact design allows for seamless integration into any setup, and its modular adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems.

The microphone is acoustically pre-equalized, offering a 4 dB presence boost that perfectly complements its chest placement. This feature enhances voice distinguishability and improves speech intelligibility, making it a favorite among professionals.

The d:screet CORE 4080 comes 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 for added versatility. The microphone's flexible mounting solution allows it to be easily adjusted to fit both left- and right-buttoned shirts.

Named for its "heart-shaped" polar pattern, this cardioid microphone offers maximum sensitivity at the front and minimal sensitivity from the sides and back. This directional pattern helps to minimize the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage, making it an ideal choice for live performances and spoken-word events.

The unique DPA capsule technique ensures the sound coming from the sides or the rear of the mic is not colored, but simply reduced in sensitivity, offering perfect sound stages. However, it's important to note that cardioid mics are more sensitive to wind, pop, and handling noises than omni mics, so precautions should be taken to guard against these.

The d:screet CORE 4080 features a flexible adapter system, with a unique MicroDot termination that can be configured to run effortlessly with a wireless system. The adapters are developed and manufactured by the wireless system brand you use, ensuring consistent performance and no connection trouble.

This microphone is compatible with numerous professional wireless systems, including Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Lectrosonics, Zaxcom, and many more. If a wired system is preferred, the microphone is also available with an XLR connector.

In summary, the d:screet CORE 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone is a versatile, high-quality audio solution, designed to deliver excellent speech reproduction in a variety of settings.
