Overview

About the DPA 4061 CORE

The 4061 is the loud one. It shares the acoustic design of DPA's 4060 miniature omni but runs about 10 dB less sensitive, which moves its clipping point up to 144 dB peak. That is the difference between a lavalier that survives a musical theatre belt at close range and one that distorts on the big note.

Typical applications

Musical theatre and opera, where a performer sings at full voice with the capsule on their face
Loud instrument miking on brass, drums and percussion
Broadcast and corporate lavalier positions that need headroom in reserve
Any body-worn position where the source is closer or louder than a lapel

What CORE changes

CORE by DPA is a redesigned amplifier inside the same capsule housing. Against the legacy 4061 it widens the dynamic range by 14 dB (111 dB against 97) and moves the 1% distortion point 14 dB higher (134 dB SPL RMS against 120), so a whispered line and a sung one both sit inside one usable window without riding the gain.

Omnidirectional on purpose

An omni capsule has no proximity effect, so it does not change tone as a performer's head moves, and it is far less sensitive to wind and handling than a directional miniature. On a body it is the reliable choice; the trade is that gain before feedback has to be managed by the system rather than the pattern.

Hire the DPA 4061

Terminated in MicroDot, so it adapts to the transmitter the job is running. Black, which is the right choice for anything not skin-toned. Available across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and South East Queensland. Pairs with the SK 300 G4 RC bodypack.
