DPA Microphones d:screet 4161 Slim Omnidirectional Microphone with Hardwired MicroDot Connector, Loud SPL, Beige

If you're in search of a high-quality, discreet microphone for film assignments or other situations requiring concealed audio capture, the d:screet 4161 Slim Omnidirectional Microphone with Hardwired MicroDot Connector, Loud SPL, in Beige, is an exceptional choice. This microphone is expertly designed with a Button-Hole Mount, featuring a small side entry pipe with a diameter of 2mm. This unique design allows sound to directly enter through a button hole or similar opening, straight to the diaphragm, ensuring clear and consistent audio capture.

The d:screet 4161 Slim is virtually invisible when used with the Button-Hole Mount or Concealer, making it an ideal choice for applications where the microphone needs to remain hidden. Despite its compact size, this microphone does not compromise on audio quality, delivering uniform and consistent sound that is synonymous with DPA microphones.

This model features the same capsule as the renowned d:screet 4061 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone, but housed in a different casing. Its sensitivity is expertly calibrated to handle higher sound pressure levels, accommodating up to 144 dB peak before clipping. This makes it an excellent choice for capturing very loud voices, ensuring clear and distortion-free audio.

The d:screet 4161 Slim is 10 dB less sensitive than the d:screet Slim 4160, making it particularly effective for hidden applications, such as being mounted on the head or forehead of a theater performer. In such placements, the sound pressure level is approximately 10 dB louder than with chest placement, like a lapel microphone. Despite its discreet size, this microphone delivers sound quality on par with the legacy d:screet 4061, making it a suitable choice for any application requiring powerful sound and a small, hidden footprint.

Omnidirectional microphones like the d:screet 4161 Slim are known for their sensitivity at all angles, picking up sound equally from all directions. This results in extremely natural and realistic sound capture, making them ideal for recording ambient sounds or large sound sources like choirs. While omnis can produce feedback in live situations due to their pickup pattern, the equal frequency response and high sound pressure level handling of the d:screet 4161 Slim make it a versatile addition to your audio toolbox.

All DPA microphones, including the d:screet 4161 Slim, can be easily configured to run with a wireless system, thanks to the unique MicroDot termination and changeable adapter. This ensures a secure and consistent connection to your system, providing flexible, simple, and affordable possibilities. With the ability to switch your adapter as circumstances change, you're not bound to one wireless system, saving you the cost of a new microphone without any loss or change in sound quality.
