About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4066 Omni Headset Mic, MicroDot, Medium, Black

What sets the d:fine CORE 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector apart is its superior sound quality, durability, and innovative design. This high-quality microphone is a favorite among broadcasters, theater professionals on Broadway, and speakers in auditoriums and lecture halls, thanks to its clear, transparent sound and ample headroom.

The d:fine CORE 4066 is not just a microphone; it's a testament to the innovative engineering of DPA Microphones. Its unique headset construction allows you to detach the mic boom and reattach it to either side, offering versatility and convenience.

One of the standout features of this professional headset microphone is its resistance to humidity, a common issue in theatrical applications. The microphone boasts a double-vent protection system and a drop stopper on the microphone boom, making it highly resistant to humidity-related issues. The internal components of the microphone are also water-resistant, further enhancing its durability.

The microphone's sensitivity is perfectly calibrated at 6 mV/Pa to match the level of the human voice with the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. When powered correctly, it can handle high sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL before clipping occurs.

The d:fine CORE 4066 also benefits from CORE by DPA technology, which provides a 14 dB increase in dynamic range and reduces general distortion from a whisper to a scream. All CORE by DPA microphones, including this one, are IP58 certified, thanks to their water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The MicroDot termination and adapter system offer flexibility and affordability, allowing you to switch adapters instead of buying a new microphone when changing wireless systems. This ingenious adapter system works with all leading wireless mic solutions, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and more.

The omnidirectional polar pattern of the d:fine CORE 4066 picks up sound equally from all directions, offering a natural and realistic sound. While omni mics can produce feedback in live situations, when used close to the sound source, they provide a more natural sound, handle extremely high sound pressure levels, and are less sensitive to wind, pop, or handling noise.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector is a versatile, durable, and high-quality audio solution that delivers professional-grade performance.
