4061 Omnidirectional, Lo-Sens

DPA 4061 is acoustically identical with the 4060, but the sensitivity is adjusted to match some of the more sensitive transmitters on the market. For a wireless microphone, choose between our adapter system or a hardwired connector.

The 4061 is available in four colors: black, brown, beige and white.

 

Applications

Excellent speech and vocal mics, the DPA miniatures are used by musicals and theaters worldwide. They are also great live and studio microphones for acoustic string instruments.

Accessories

Two grids are supplied (one high boost and one soft boost) and by changing these grids you can acoustically modify the microphone according to placement (chest, head etc.) Additionally, a wide range of accessories is available, such as windscreens, clips and holders, extension cables, and power supplies.
