The DPA Microphones d:screet CORO 4060 miniature omnidirectional microphone is small in size, but extremely flexible in use. The original d:screet 4060 is the very first miniature microphone developed by DPA using technology previously only used in hearing aids and measurement microphones. Due to its miniature size, it exhibits an exceptionally accurate omnidirectional pattern, which means it does not need to be aimed directly at the sound source to achieve quality pickup. The omnidirectional pattern also makes it less sensitive to handling noise as well as pop and wind noise.

DPA Microphones designed the d:screet 4060 mic for use with wireless systems in theaters but today it is one of the most used mics for television and film applications as well. It is especially suited for capturing the nuances in speech and can be used to close-mike a wide range of instruments. This microphone handles sound pressure levels up to 134 dB before clipping occurs. This d:screet 4060 Normal SPL is well suited for applications where the sound source is more remote or dampened and you need to have a good signal versus noise ratio.

The d:screet series was developed to withstand the toughest of conditions. They contain a 5.4 mm diameter pre-polarized condenser element with a vertical diaphragm. This unique, Double Vent Protection System makes the mics highly resistant to humidity and sweat. These mics are also designed with a Kevlar-reinforced cable relief, which is able to withstand the constant twists, bends and pulls of everyday use.

The acoustic response of the d:screet™ 4060 Series can be modified by selecting the correct grid for the job. Two grids are supplied with each microphone (not the d:screet™ 4071, which includes a fixed grid). The pre-fitted Soft Boost Grid gives a 3 dB soft boost at 8-20 kHz. It should be used when the microphone is mounted on the performer’s head as well as in most other applications where you need a natural-sounding microphone. When fitted, the High Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB soft boost around 12 kHz for applications where the microphones chest-placement is preferred. Both of these grids are made of anodized stainless steel, giving a tough and scratch resistant surface. They can be detached from the microphone and cleaned of sweat, makeup, etc.

Flexible Adapter System

All of DPA’s microphones can be configured to run easily and effortlessly with a wireless system. DPA employs a unique MicroDot termination with a changeable adapter to ensure secure configuration. All of the adapters are developed and manufactured by the wireless system brand you use. This ensures that your mic will work consistently with no connection trouble to your system. If you prefer to run a wired system, all DPA mics are available with an XLR adapter.

Using an adapter for wireless, DPA microphones with MicroDot termination are compatible with the following professional wireless systems: AKG, Audio Ltd., Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Electro-Voice, Lectrosonics, Line 6, Micron, Mipro, Pastega, Ramsa, Sabine, Samson, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Telex, TOA, Trantec, Vega, Wisycom and Zaxcom.
Note: Many of these brands have several model numbers. To ensure compatibility you should find your particular model number, which in most cases can be found on the transmitter.
