The DPA Microphones 4071 CORE Omnidirectional Microphone is a fantastic lavalier mic, which features a soft boost typically of 5dB at 4 to 6kHz. This is critical for a chest-placed microphone because the frequency range of the consonants spoken is dampened in this position, which results in poor intelligibility. The 4071 has a boost that maximises speech intelligibility. This microphone will be able to handle sound pressure levels up to 144 dB before clipping occurs.
When recording voices from mic placement on a performer’s body, no frequency below 100 Hz is attractive.
To enhance headroom, the 4071 capsule includes a 100 Hz acoustical low-cut, benefitting the built-in preamplifier and wireless system. Furthermore, the low-cut filter removes low-frequency rumble, noise and proximity effect.
Because of its special optimisation for speech, this mic is especially appropriate for ENG news crews since very few ENG mixers have the ability to make this type of compensation. It is also a fantastic choice for in-studio reporters or even hidden under clothing for film production use.
The 4071 is available in three colours: black, beige and white. An even more robust, heavy-duty version is also available.
Flexible Adapter System
All of DPA’s microphones can be configured to run easily and effortlessly with a wireless system. DPA use a unique MicroDot termination on their microphones together with a changeable adapter to ensure secure configuration. All of the adapters DPA use are original, developed and manufactured by the wireless system brand you use. This ensures that your mic will work consistently with no connection trouble to your system.
The adapters for wireless systems give you flexible, simple and affordable possibilities. You are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter, instead of incurring the cost of a completely new microphone. When you make the switch, you won’t hear any loss or change in sound quality.
Using an adapter for wireless, DPA Microphones with MicroDot termination are compatible with the professional wireless systems listed below. Many of these brands have several model numbers. To ensure compatibility you should find your particular model number, which in most cases can be found on the transmitter. Other configurations are possible; however, DPA Microphones cannot guarantee full compatibility in these cases.
Wireless brands DPA work with: AKG, Audio Ltd., Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Electro-Voice, Lectrosonics, Line 6, Micron, Mipro, Pastega, Ramsa, Sabine, Samson, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Telex, TOA, Trantec, Vega, Wisycom and Zaxcom.
Hardwired versions without the MicroDot connector are also available for various versions. Popular choices are 3-pin LEMO (Sennheiser), Mini-Jack (Sennheiser) and TA4F Mini-XLR (Shure).
If you prefer to run via a wired system, all of the DPA mics are available with an XLR adapter.
