DPA 4060 Omnidirectional, Hi-Sensitivity Lapel Mic

Originally designed for use with wireless systems in theater, television and close-miked instrument applications, the highly unobtrusive 4060 capsule is visually smaller than a pencil eraser.
Because of their small size, these tiny condensers exhibit an exceedingly accurate omnidirectional pattern and therefore do not need to be aimed directly at the sound source to achieve quality pickup.

The 4060 is available in four colors: black, brown, beige and white.

Applications
Excellent speech and vocal mics, DPA miniatures are de facto theatre standards. Musicians and engineers use them as live or studio microphones for close-miking acoustic string instruments like violin, guitar, bass, viola and harp. On television, DPA's small condenser microphones are popular as lavalier lapel and tie clip mics.

Accessories
Two different protection grids are supplied and by changing these grids you can acoustically modify the microphone's response according to their placement on the body - the chest, the head etc. Additionally, a wide range of accessories is available, such as windscreens in different colors, clips and holders, extension cables, and power supplies.

Wireless microphones
A wide range of connection adapters makes it possible to use DPA miniature microphones with all professional UHF, VHF or digital wireless system available plus 48 V Phantom.

DPA has specific adapters for AKG, Audio Ltd., Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Electro-Voice, Lectrosonics, Micron, Mipro, Pastega, Telex ProStar, Ramsa, Samson, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Toa, Vega and other systems. Each adapter for your cordless microphone is guaranteed to perfectly mate to your system of choice.

Specifications
Offering great detail and resolution, the 4060s have a neutral sonic character and are very natural sounding. The 4060 has a very low noise floor, impressive sensitivity and can handle high SPLs. For full technical specs, please click the Specifications tab above.
