DPA d:facto 4018V Softboost Supercardioid Vocal Microphone (Black)

At just 3mm in diameter, the DPA 6060 CORE Subminiature Lavalier Microphones prove that exceptional audio quality doesn’t require size. These tiny powerhouses incorporate DPA’s award-winning CORE technology, delivering the same clarity, consistency and durability found in their larger counterparts. The miniaturised CORE technology ensures minimal distortion across the entire dynamic range, from the quietest whisper to the loudest vocal performance, whilst maintaining the openness and detail that DPA microphones are renowned for.

Despite their compact 3mm footprint, the 6060 CORE series matches the performance of DPA’s beloved 5mm miniature capsules. The 6061 model achieves an impressive 26 dB(A) noise floor – the lowest available in any 3mm capsule currently on the market – whilst handling high sound pressure levels without distortion. The removable cap system allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, clicking securely into place with both tactile and audible confirmation. Both the capsule and cap feature stainless steel construction with Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating, providing exceptional durability against high temperatures, impacts and abrasion whilst maintaining a discreet matte appearance.

DPA has addressed the common weakness of subminiature microphones by utilising the same robust 1.6mm cable and strain relief system found on their 5mm models. The cable incorporates a Kevlar inner core for superior tensile strength, with integrated strain relief built into the microphone housing. These microphones offer comprehensive connectivity options through DPA’s MicroDot system with adaptors for various wireless transmitters, plus hardwired terminations for popular systems from manufacturers like Shure and Sennheiser, making them the only 3mm subminiature lavalier that delivers authentic DPA sonic quality.
