Professional Lavalier Microphone for High-SPL Applications
The DPA 4661 CORE+ Heavy-Duty Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is built for high-SPL environments where audio clarity and durability are critical. Designed for use in broadcast, theater, and live performances, this low-sensitivity microphone captures clean and intelligible speech while withstanding demanding conditions. With reinforced construction and moisture resistance, it is an ideal choice for presenters, vocalists, and sound professionals who need a reliable, discreet, and high-performance lavalier microphone.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Demanding Environments
Built with rugged stainless-steel housing and a reinforced 2.2mm cable, the 4661 CORE+ is engineered to handle the rigors of live performances and film productions. Its IP58-rated dust and moisture resistance make it an excellent choice for outdoor events, stage productions, and film shoots where environmental conditions can be unpredictable. Whether used in a high-energy concert or a demanding theatrical setting, this microphone is designed to perform reliably under pressure.
CORE+ Technology for Reduced Distortion and Extended Dynamic Range
DPA’s CORE+ technology ensures an expanded dynamic range with minimized distortion, making the 4661 CORE+ ideal for capturing loud sources without compromise. Capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL, this microphone provides a clean and transparent signal, allowing vocalists and speakers to project naturally without overload or clipping. With 6 dB more dynamic range and 6 dB less noise compared to legacy models, the 4661 ensures every word and note is captured with precision.
Customizable Sound with Interchangeable Capsule Grids
For optimal performance in different placements, the 4661 CORE+ includes two interchangeable capsule protection grids. The Soft-Boost Grid enhances frequencies between 8 and 20 kHz by 3 dB for a balanced and natural vocal tone. The High-Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB peak at 12 kHz, making it ideal for chest placement where additional presence is needed. Both grids are made from anodized stainless steel, providing durability while allowing easy removal and cleaning.
Versatile Connectivity with Modular MicroDot and LEMO Adapter
The 4661 CORE+ features a modular MicroDot connector that can be adapted for use with a variety of wireless systems. This version includes a 3-pin LEMO adapter, making it compatible with Lectrosonics SSM, Sennheiser SK, and Wisycom MTP transmitters. For wired applications, an optional MicroDot-to-XLR adapter is available separately, ensuring flexibility for both wireless and direct setups.
Omnidirectional Pickup Pattern for Consistent Audio Capture
Designed with an omnidirectional polar pattern, the 4661 CORE+ delivers a uniform frequency response and clear, consistent audio, even when the performer moves. This makes it an excellent choice for speakers, actors, and vocalists who require freedom of movement without compromising sound quality. The microphone's forgiving pickup pattern also minimizes handling noise and reduces plosives for a smoother audio experience.
