About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4066 Omni Headset Mic, TA4F Mini-XLR, Small, Black

Find unparalleled audio fidelity with the d:fine CORE 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone, a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to high-quality, professional-grade sound equipment. This small, black headset microphone is renowned for its clean, transparent sound quality and exceptional headroom, making it a staple for broadcasters, theater productions on Broadway, and educational institutions across the globe.

Crafted for resilience and performance, the d:fine CORE 4066 boasts a robust design that is resistant to the rigors of live performances and demanding environments. Its durability is further enhanced by a double-vent protection system, which, along with a water-resistant internal construction, shields the microphone from humidity and moisture - a common challenge in theatrical and outdoor applications.

The innovative headset construction of the d:fine CORE 4066 sets it apart. The microphone boom is detachable, allowing for easy switching between the left and right sides, ensuring versatility and comfort for the wearer. This feature, combined with the microphone's ability to handle high sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL without clipping, makes it an adaptable choice for vocalists and speakers alike.

CORE by DPA technology elevates the d:fine CORE 4066's performance with a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, minimizing distortion across all sound levels - from a soft whisper to a powerful scream. The microphone's sensitivity is finely tuned at 6 mV/Pa to match the human voice, ensuring seamless integration with most professional wireless systems.

IP58 certification underscores the microphone's reliability, with a series of defense mechanisms in place to protect its integrity. These include a water-repellant nano-coating on the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the amplifier at the microphone's core, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm to prevent corrosion.

The d:fine CORE 4066's modular adapter system is a game-changer, providing unparalleled flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It allows for easy adaptation to various wireless systems, including industry leaders like Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, and Zaxcom, without compromising sound quality. This ingenious system ensures that your investment in superior sound is protected for years to come.

Understanding the nature of omnidirectional microphones is key to appreciating the d:fine CORE 4066's capabilities. Its omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound with equal sensitivity from all directions, offering a natural and realistic audio experience. While omni mics can be prone to feedback in live settings, the d:fine CORE 4066 excels when used close to the sound source, providing a balanced frequency response and resistance to wind, pop, and handling noise.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with TA4F Mini-XLR Connector is a versatile, reliable, and professional choice for those seeking impeccable sound quality and durability in a variety of vocal applications.
