DPA Microphones 4060 Omni Miniature Lavalier Mic | 3-Pin LEMO | Black

The DPA 4060 series brings measurement-grade capsule technology to professional lavalier applications where remote placement and environmental exposure demand both sonic accuracy and physical resilience. Originally developed from hearing aid and precision instrumentation platforms, this omnidirectional miniature microphone delivers consistent frequency response across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz spectrum while maintaining a 23 dB(A) noise floor that preserves intelligibility in broadcast interviews, theatrical performances, and documentary fieldwork.Engineered for integration with professional wireless transmitters through DPA's modular adapter system, the 4060 handles maximum sound pressure levels up to 134 dB peak before clipping—making it suitable for close-mic applications on high-output sources or unpredictable live event scenarios. The IP58-rated capsule withstands moisture and particulate exposure that would compromise conventional lavaliers, while the 5.4 mm diameter profile enables discreet mounting on talent without visual distraction. Theater sound designers, ENG crews, and house of worship engineers rely on this platform when concealment, durability, and tonal uniformity across multiple units are non-negotiable.Unlike larger lavalier designs that color off-axis response or exhibit handling noise, the 4060's pressure-operated condenser cartridge maintains omnidirectional polar characteristics and mechanical isolation from cable movement. With sensitivity selection tolerance held to ±1.5 dB at 1 kHz, multi-mic installations achieve level matching without extensive gain adjustments. The included 1.8 m cable supports flexible routing, and compatibility with up to 300 m cable runs when paired with the DAD9001 XLR adapter extends the microphone's utility into fixed installation and remote broadcast environments where long signal paths are required.
