DPA Microphones: Introducing CORE+

DPA Microphones’ CORE+ is a revolutionary leap ahead in microphone design, blurring the lines between what is and isn’t acoustically possible.

CORE+ is a technology that neutralises distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone making any residual distortion imperceptible to the naked ear and virtually unmeasurable.

Removing these remnants of distortion allows sound engineers to capture a new level of audio clarity easily and efficiently, so they can shape an extraordinary listening experience for the audience.

Features of CORE+:

• Effectively negates microphone distortion across the entire dynamic range 

• Captures the purest, clearest sound at the source 

• Lets sound engineers focus on shaping an extraordinary experience for the audience

• Reduces hassle from unpredictable challenges in the live show environment

Neutralising distortion

Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels.

While CORE allows mics to handle higher SPLs without significant artifacts up to 1% THD, CORE+ eliminates those artifacts completely.

The image below shows that DPA have pushed distortion down to an absolute minimum across the entire dynamic range. The flatness of the curve at all sound levels shows that it is not distortion, but only system noise.

Distortion free – from high to low SPL

Microphones with CORE+ deliver crystal clear, distortion-free sound across the entire dynamic range of the microphone. Anyone seeking the highest possible sound quality will appreciate CORE+.

Whether recording or amplifying content, the sound will remain clear and completely undistorted by the microphone, even when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes.

Especially at higher sound pressure levels and with multiple microphones on stage, the elimination of distortion will enhance the overall clarity and transparency of the entire sound image.

For miniature microphones in particular, sound professionals in theatres and film industry are the primary beneficiaries.

CORE vs CORE+, What is the Difference?

With CORE+ DPA Microphones have shifted the sound pressure level at which they achieve THD 0.5% to be nearly the same as THD 1%.
