DPA gooseneck microphones have earned their reputation as the go-to solution for critical speech applications where every word matters. From parliamentary chambers requiring flawless simultaneous interpretation to corporate boardrooms demanding crystal-clear communication, these installation-focused microphones consistently provide the high speech intelligibility that professionals rely on. Their popularity in podium, conference room, tabletop, and ceiling mount configurations stems from their ability to capture nuanced speech with exceptional clarity.
The 4098 CORE Supercardioid Microphone represents the pinnacle of DPA’s gooseneck technology, incorporating CORE by DPA advancements that push the dynamic range 8 dB higher to achieve 133 dB at 1% THD. This miniature microphone combines very low noise with high sensitivity, creating transparent and natural sound reproduction that handles extremely high SPL without clipping. The linear response and low distortion characteristics ensure consistent performance regardless of environmental challenges.
A standout feature of the 4098 CORE is its forgiving off-axis response – speaking into the side of the microphone simply reduces level without compromising audio quality. Available in black or white finishes with either XLR or MicroDot terminations, the microphone comes in five lengths from 16 cm (6 in) to 122 cm (48 in), providing installation flexibility for any application where pristine speech capture is non-negotiable.
