The DPA 4061 CORE+ Miniature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone can handle SPL up to 144 dB peak before clipping, making it one of the best miniatures for use on very loud sound sources, such as some instruments and human voices. It works well when used for hidden applications, for example mounted on the head or forehead of a theater performer. In this placement, the sound pressure level is about 10 dB louder than what you encounter with chest placement (lapel microphone).
What is CORE+ Technology?
CORE+ neutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone, making any residual noise imperceptible and virtually unmeasurable. This new technology provides a new level of pure, clean audio for an extraordinary sound experience, whether recording or amplifying content.
DPA's CORE+ technology also reduces the hassle of unpredictable challenges of live sound environments, such as when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes or on stages with multiple microphones. Microphones with CORE+ completely eliminate artifacts, while enhancing the transparency of the entire sound image, to provide audio professionals more freedom to create their desired soundscape.
