DPA 4060 Core

DPA 4060 Core hire in Melbourne. A tiny omnidirectional lav that disappears on talent and sounds like the person talking in the same room, not like a mic under a shirt.

The lav is where sound quality is won or lost on most interview shoots and the 4060 is the one broadcast and theatre use for a reason. The capsule is about 5mm across, so it hides in a collar, a hairline or behind a button. It's omnidirectional with a neutral sound, so the voice stays even when the talent turns their head and CORE by DPA gives it more dynamic range and cleaner peaks than the older version. It's acoustically the same as the DPA 4061 with a higher sensitivity, which suits quieter voices and wireless packs with less gain.

It also works on instruments. Close mic a violin, a guitar, a double bass or a harp and you get the instrument without a stand in the shot. It comes in a DPA case with soft boost and high boost grids to tune the sound, and a clip or mount.

Good for: interviews, broadcast, documentary, theatre, presenters, corporate video, quiet or soft spoken voices and close miking strings.

Good to know: DPA uses a Microdot connector, so it talks to almost any wireless pack, but only with the right adapter. Add the DPA MicroDot Adapter for your transmitter when you book, or tell us your wireless system. Loud voice? The DPA 4061 is the better match.
