Built to withstand the rigors of long-term everyday use, DPA's MicroLock system features an easy-to-use, secure, and wear-resistant locking connector specially engineered to minimize accidental disconnection and ensure reliable performance. The compact design is well suited to situations where space is limited and a visually discreet solution is preferred.

 

MicroLock is fully backwards compatible with the MicroDot connection; MicroLock parts can be assembled with MicroDot parts and function as if they were of the MicroDot type. Please note that the locking function is only available if both the male and female parts are MicroLock.

Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels. Miniature microphones with CORE+ provide unheard levels of openness. While CORE allows mics to handle higher SPLs without significant artifacts up to 1% THD, CORE+ eliminates those artifacts completely.

The forgiving omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all around the mic and provides a consistent frequency response, even for off-axis sound. This helps to supply clear, intelligible speech and vocals with consistent volume levels while reducing vocal plosives and handling noise.

The pre-fitted Soft-Boost Grid gives a 3 dB soft boost at 8 to 20 kHz range. Alternatively, the High-Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB boost around 12 kHz for applications where additional top-end high-frequencies are desired. Both grids are made of tough and scratch-resistant anodized stainless steel, allowing them to be detached and cleaned.

The boom can easily be adjusted, so that it sits perfectly at the corner of the performer's smile (the optimal placement of a headworn mic). Not only can the boom be extended / shortened, but it can also be pivoted up and down at a fixed point below the ear (no more bending the boom). An anti-rotating mechanism designed into the boom shape, prevents it from rotating. A sliding lock system ensures that the boom is locked into the desired position.

 

The entire boom can be detached at a point below the ear and moved from the right to left side of the frame. DPA has also added a service connector at the end of the boom pole, so that the boom and cable can be replaced independently if needed. The service connector is well-protected by a plastic cover that slides over the gold-plated connectors.

The ear grips feature truly impressive technology. Most headsets have either a 1- or 2-point gripping system—resting on top of the ear or (sometimes) gripping below the ear. This headset relies on a 3-point gripping system—adding a support area behind the ear pressing gently inward.

 

The headset has its cable guide directly at the back of the headset frame, so that you can easily organize the cables to run unobtrusively down the back of the performers. The cable guide slides from side to side, so it can be moved out of, for example, the camera view. The special construction also separates the cables from the boom movement, which ensures that cables are not pulled on when the boom is moved. This helps ensure that the mic cable have a long life.

The cable is often the weak spot on these types of mics, but DPA's 1.6mm diameter cable is extremely rugged, does not become entangled, and is equipped with an inner core made of Kevlar that withstands rough pulls for long-lasting durability.
