Description

The beige DPA 4660 CORE+ is a miniature, moisture-resistant lavalier microphone with heavy-duty construction designed for use with professional wireless systems for broadcast, performance, and theatrical applications. This version of the mic features a compact and reliable MicroLock connector that will work with a wide variety of wireless transmitters via separately available adapters. The electret-condenser capsule delivers crisp, clear, and intelligible speech, while the rugged yet unobtrusive design is well suited to the demands of professional live stage work and presentations.

The 4660 is built with stainless-steel housing, a thicker 2.2mm cable, and reinforced strain relief, enabling the mic to withstand tough conditions in a variety of difficult working environments. The CORE+ technology in the mic delivers a wide dynamic range and almost completely neutralizes distortion at SPLs up to 126 dB RMS, helping to provide clean, crisp, and natural sonic performance, even on loud stages. Included are two interchangeable capsule protection grids that alter the sonic character of the mic for better results in different placement positions.

The 4660 is wired for normal sensitivity, allowing it to handle peak SPLs of up to 129 dB with less than 1% distortion, making it well suited for most standard speakers, vocalists, and presenters. The mic can also be used very effectively to capture instruments—making it a flexible tool for houses of worship and live-event productions. The lavalier is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless microphone transmitter.

Modular System Featuring MicroLock Connector
MicroLock for Secure, Dependable Connections
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.

Adapters Available for Various Wireless Transmitters
The 4660 will work with a wide variety of wireless transmitters via separately available adapters. Simply choose the MicroLock adapter with the appropriate connector for your bodypack transmitter and you're good to go.

Backward Compatible
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.

A Heavy-Duty, Broadcast-Quality Lavalier with CORE+ Technology
Steel Housing, Moisture-Resistant Construction
Made for situations where you require maximum security and where the visual size of the mic is less important, this heavy-duty version of the 4060 microphone features stainless steel housing and a thick 2.2mm cable with a reinforced, heavy-duty cable relief. With its double-vent protection system, the 4660 is certified IP58 for dust and moisture resistance and built to survive the constant twists, bends, and pulls that are part of everyday use in harsh environments.

Normal Headroom for Standard Speech
The 4660 CORE+ features a sensitive capsule designed for standard speech and vocal applications at levels up to 126 dB SPL RMS and 129 dB peak before producing < 1% distortion. Even at peak SPLs of 134 dB, the mic exhibits only 10% distortion, allowing it to handle a wide variety of speech, vocal, and instrument sources.

More Range, Less Distortion
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.

Miniature Mic with a Crisp, Clear Sound
The diminutive 5.4mm capsule enables the microphone to be inconspicuous and easily disguised in clothing or costumes. The vertical diaphragm design offers a clear and natural sound optimized for the human voice.

Two Boost Grids Included to Tailor High Frequencies
The pre-fitted Soft-Boost Grid gives a 3 dB soft boost at 8 to 20 kHz range. It should be used when the microphone is mounted on the performer's head as well as in most other applications where you need a natural-sounding mic. Alternatively, the High-Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB boost around 12 kHz for applications where chest placement is preferred. Both grids are made of tough and scratch-resistant anodized stainless steel, allowing them to be detached and cleaned.

Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
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, even when the talent turns away from the microphone.

Additional Options
This version of the DPA 4660 CORE does not include mounts, windscreens, or clips; they are available separately.
  • The SCM0020 2-Way Clip is an improved clip for the 4660 Series Heavy-Duty miniature mic that is extremely easy to mount and intuitive to use. It provides quick and easy chest mounting with two orientation options.
  • To hide the mic, the DMM0022 Concealer attaches safely and securely to clothing and costumes and is designed to resist clothing and rustling noise. It features a modular design that allows the top of the concealer to be separated from the base. This lets you to affix the base to clothing and remove the top piece independently.
  • Foam windscreens to reduce breath and plosive noises are available in multiple color choices to match clothing.
