This Button-Hole Mount is placed on the mic head and has a small side entry pipe ((Dia.) 2 mm) making it possible to have the sound enter through a button hole or similar, directly to the diaphragm. The d:screet 4060 Series Slim, like all other DPA mics, easily adapts to your needs via the MicroDot connector, offering a range of accessories and adapters available for all pro-wireless systems.

The d:screet Slim 4160 features the same capsule as the d:screet 4060 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone, but in a different housing. It delivers sound on par with the legacy d:screet 4060, making it a suitable choice for any application requiring big sound and a small, hidden footprint. It is perfect for television and film application; especially suited for capturing speech in all of its nuances. The mic handles sound pressure levels up to 134 dB before clipping occurs and is well suited for applications where the sound source is more remote or dampened and you need to have a good balance signal versus noise. The d:screet 4160 Slim is available in black.

A bit about omnis
An omnidirectional microphone has sensitivity at all angles - in principle picking up sound equally from all directions. This gives you extremely natural and realistic sound compared to a cardioid mic. Omni mics are often used for picking up ambient sounds, as well as miking a large sound source such as a choir in a recording situation. Unfortunately, due to their pickup pattern, omnis can also produce a lot of feedback in live situations.

Nonetheless, we recommend that you try a DPA omni first because, when used close to the sound source, the equal frequency response makes these mics a flexible addition in your audio toolbox. It will often give a more natural sound, it can handle extremely high sound pressure levels, it does not suffer from proximity effect and is not as sensitive to wind, pop or handling noise.

Flexible adapter system
All of DPA's microphones can be configured to run easily and effortlessly with a wireless system. We use a unique MicroDot termination on our microphones together with a changeable adapter to ensure secure configuration. All of the adapters we use are original, developed and manufactured by the wireless system brand you use. This ensures that your mic will work consistently with no connection trouble to your system.

The adapters for wireless systems give you flexible, simple and affordable possibilities. You are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter, instead of incurring the cost of a new microphone. When you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.
