4660/61/71 CORE Heavy Duty Omni Miniature Mic

Made for situations where you require maximum security and where the visual size of the mic is less important. The Heavy Duty Mic Series features a stainless steel housing, a heavy-duty cable relief and a thick 2.2 mm cable. Heavy Duty microphones from DPA are a more robust version of the original mics they are based upon.

A very flexible and durable miniature microphone, the 4660 Heavy Duty Miniature Omni Microphone exhibits an exceptionally accurate omnidirectional pattern and therefore does not need to be aimed directly at the sound source to achieve quality pickup. It is especially suited for capturing speech in all of its nuances and can be used for very high-end ambient recordings where space is limited or the microphone needs to be hidden. This microphone handles sound pressure levels up to 134 dB before clipping occurs.

Acoustically identical to the 4060, the 4661 Heavy Duty Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Loud SPL is sensitivity adjusted to cope with higher sound pressure levels. The 4661 Heavy Duty can handle SPL 144 dB peak before clipping, making it one of the best miniatures for use on very loud and powerful instruments like snare drums, guitar, bass, speaker cabinets or other high-SPL sound sources. The heavy-duty cable relief and a thicker cable works well in live environments, which can sometimes be rough.

The 4671 Heavy Duty Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Presence Boost is a fantastic lavalier mic, which features a presence boost of typically 5 dB at 4 to 6 kHz, which is optimized for chest-placement. The mic has a boost that maximizes speech intelligibility. This microphone will be able to handle sound pressure levels up to 144 dB before clipping occurs.
