DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with 1/8" Mini-Jack Connector, Medium, Black

Where superior sound quality and durability intersect, you'll find the d:fine CORE 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with 1/8" Mini-Jack Connector. This medium-sized, black microphone has been a trusted choice for Broadway theaters, broadcasters, and lecture halls due to its pristine sound quality and robust construction.

The d:fine CORE 4066 microphone delivers clean, transparent sound with ample headroom, ensuring your voice is heard clearly and accurately. Its sensitivity of 6 mV/Pa aligns perfectly with the human voice, matching the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. When powered correctly, this microphone can handle high sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL before any clipping occurs.

Designed with a unique headset construction, the microphone boom can be detached and reattached to either the left or right side of the headset mount, offering flexibility based on your needs. The microphone is also resistant to humidity, a common issue in theatrical applications. Its double-vent protection system, drop stopper on the microphone boom, and water-resistant internal materials make it highly resilient to humidity-related failures.

The d:fine CORE 4066 microphone also boasts a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, reducing general distortion from whisper-quiet to screaming loud. All CORE by DPA technology microphones, including this model, are IP58 certified. This certification is achieved through a water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The microphone's adapter system offers flexibility and affordability. It allows you to switch adapters as your circumstances change, eliminating the need for a completely new microphone. This ingenious system, unique to DPA Microphones, ensures no loss or change in sound quality when switching adapters.

As an omnidirectional microphone, the d:fine CORE 4066 picks up sound equally from all directions, providing a natural and realistic sound. While omnidirectional microphones can produce feedback in live situations, they are excellent for capturing ambient sounds or miking large sound sources like choirs. With its ability to handle extremely high sound pressure levels and resistance to wind, pop, or handling noise, this microphone is a versatile addition to your audio toolbox.
