About DPA Microphones d:fine Legacy 4066 Omni Headset Mic, Mini Jack, Small, Beige

This microphone offers clean and transparent sound quality with lots of headroom. For years, this has been the chosen headset mic for broadcasters as well as theaters on Broadway, as well as in many auditorium and lecture halls. This is due to its pristine sound and durability.

• Pristine sound and durability
• Resistant to humidity
• Double-vent protection system
• Available in three colors and two sizes
• Modular adapter system fits most professional wireless systems

The headset construction is unique. You can detach the mic boom from the headset mount to switch it to either the left or right side and then reattach it. Humidity, often an issue in theatrical applications, is not a problem. This microphone is constructed with a double-vent protection system and a drop stopper on the microphone boom. Also, the materials inside the mic are water resistant. These design elements make it very difficult for the microphone to fail due to humidity.

The microphone's sensitivity is 6 mV/Pa. This matches the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. If powered correctly, the microphone will be able to handle very high sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL before clipping occurs.

Legacy
The legacy d:fine 4066 has always been and still is, one of the most clear, consistent and robust miniature microphones you can find on the market. It's known for working across a wide dynamic range as well as exhibiting low distortion across all SPLs.

Adapter system gives you flexibility
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 completely new microphone. When you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.

The d:fine, d:screet and d:vote series of miniature microphones work with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom and many more. DPA Microphones' ingenious adapter system is one of a kind in the industry. It protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.

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.

DPA Microphones d:fine Legacy 4066 Omni Headset Mic, Mini Jack, Small, Beige Features

  • Pickup pattern: As mentioned above, the pickup pattern of a microphone can be important in live performance situations
  • Sensitivity: The sensitivity of a microphone determines how loud it will be when it picks up sound. A microphone with high sensitivity will be louder than a microphone with low sensitivity
  • Frequency response: The frequency response of a microphone determines how well it reproduces different frequencies of sound
  • Durability: Microphones can be easily damaged in live performance situations. It is important to choose a microphone that is durable and can withstand the rigors of touring.
