The DPA Microphones 4062 CORE Extreme SPL Omni Lavalier Microphone is a compact and moisture-resistant lavalier microphone that is specifically designed to be used with wireless systems in broadcast, performance, and theatrical settings. Featuring an electret-condenser capsule with an adjustable sensitivity, this microphone is capable of handling even the loudest vocalists, performers, and instruments while delivering clear and intelligible audio. Its rugged yet discreet design makes it a perfect choice for professional live stage work and presentations.
This particular version of the 4062 utilizes DPA's innovative CORE technology, offering an impressive 16 dB increase in dynamic range and a 16 dB reduction in noise compared to the older 4062 Legacy model. Additionally, the microphone comes with two interchangeable capsule-protection grids that can modify the sonic characteristics. The High-Boost Grid, ideal for chest placement, creates a peak at 12 kHz, whereas the Soft-Boost Grid provides a subtle boost between 8 to 20 kHz, enhancing signal presence for improved clarity.
With a remarkable SPL rating of 154 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling the high volume levels produced by loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters. It can even effectively capture audio during intense sporting events like auto racing, where loud engine noise typically causes distortion in many other lavs. Moreover, this microphone proves to be a versatile tool in capturing the sound of loud instruments such as brass, drums, and percussion, making it suitable for houses of worship and live event productions. Powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter, the 4062 CORE features a modular design that utilizes a Microdot output connector. Additionally, adapters are available separately to ensure compatibility with a wide range of transmitters.
