The DPA 4071 CORE+ Miniature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Presence Boost is a fantastic lavalier mic, which features a presence boost of typically 5 dB at 4 to 6 kHz. This is critical for a chest-placed microphone because the frequency range of the consonants spoken is damped in this position, which results in poor intelligibility. The 4071 has a boost that maximizes speech intelligibility. This microphone will be able to handle sound pressure levels up to 144 dB before clipping occurs.
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.
