DPA CORE 6061 Omnidirectional 3mm Subminiature Lavalier, Loud SPL, MicroDot

Share

The CORE Subminiature Microphones are just 3 mm in size but pack the audio power of DPA's larger, award-winning mics. What they lack in size, they more than make up for in clarity, consistency and durability—three qualities that really matter. By shrinking CORE by DPA technology, you won't have to compromise on sound to focus on aesthetics.

Shrinking CORE Into 3 mm
CORE by DPA is a powerful new technology that minimizes distortion and is at the heart of DPA's miniature microphones. From a whisper to a scream, you will experience increased clarity and openness.

DPA has taken the CORE technology and shrunk it down to fit into 3 mm subminiature mics. This means that, despite their small size, the performance of the CORE Subminiature Series—the 6060 (normal SPL) and 6061 (loud SPL)—is fully comparable to the 5 mm miniature capsules that are beloved around the globe. These subminiatures have a lower noise floor than any other 3 mm capsule on the market and they are better able to capture high sound pressure levels without distortion as well. In terms of technical specifications, the 6060 has a noise floor of only 26 dB(A), which is on par with the 5 mm DPA miniature capsules.

Advanced Mic Design
This tiny capsule has a cap that can be removed for cleaning and should be firmly reattached to the mic body with a firm click that can both be felt and heard. The supplied cap corresponds in its nature to the low-boost grid of DPA's 5 mm versions. Both the mic itself plus the cap are made of stainless steel and treated with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating that makes it extremely durable (able to tolerate high temperatures, resilient against impacts and resistant to abrasion).

The cable is often the weak spot on these types of mics, but the 6060 and 6061 lavaliers have the same size cable (Ø 1.6 mm) and the same rugged cable relief as on the 5 mm mics. The cables are extremely durable, do not become entangled and are equipped with an inner core made of Kevlar that withstands rough pulls. A strain relief is integrated in the mic housing to strengthen the assembly. The cable and capsule design ensure immunity to noisy wireless devices.

The DPA 6060 (normal SPL) and 6061 (loud SPL) lavaliers are offered with MicroDot* or hardwired with 3-Pin LEMO, TA4F, Mini Jack. All connectors are equipped with a rugged strain relief. At just 3.4 mm (including the cap), this mic matches the size of any other miniature lavalier on the market. It's the only mic that gives you the DPA sonic quality that you know and love. Available colors: Beige or Black

8-Position Lavalier Clip
When used as a lavalier, a special rotatable clip is available. The 360° clip can be mounted in eight positions, chosen in 45° incremental steps. This makes it very easy to change from womens' to mens' shirts (left to right buttoned) or even t-shirts and the like where the neckline is used.
