DPA 4061 CORE+ Omni Mic, Loud SPL, Black, TA4F Mini-XLR

The DPA 4061 CORE+ Omni Mic is a premium miniature lavalier microphone designed for loud SPL applications, delivering exceptionally clean, transparent audio with impressive headroom. Finished in black and fitted with a TA4F mini XLR connector, it is ideal for use with compatible wireless systems in theatre, broadcast, live sound and corporate environments where reliability, clarity and discretion are essential.

Built around DPA’s renowned omnidirectional capsule, the 4061 CORE+ captures a natural, open sound from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a smooth, musical high-frequency lift for added intelligibility. The upgraded CORE+ technology dramatically reduces distortion across the entire dynamic range, so even the most powerful vocalists and high-energy performers are reproduced with precision and detail.

Engineered to cope with extremely high sound pressure levels, the 4061 CORE+ maintains low distortion up to 139 dB SPL peak, with a dynamic range of around 111 dB. This makes it a strong choice for loud stages, energetic presenters and demanding theatrical productions where consistency and intelligibility must be maintained regardless of performance level.

Compact, lightweight and unobtrusive, the 4061 CORE+ is built to withstand the rigours of professional use. Its robust cable, moisture-resistant capsule design and dependable TA4F connection make it a trusted tool for audio professionals who need a miniature mic that simply works, show after show.

CORE+ Technology

With CORE+ amplification inside, the 4061 delivers a more linear response with reduced distortion across the full dynamic range. This ensures that quiet passages remain detailed and loud peaks stay clean, giving engineers more usable gain before artefacts and a more natural, lifelike sound overall.

Natural Omnidirectional Pickup

The omnidirectional pressure-operated capsule captures sound evenly from all directions, minimising handling noise and proximity effect while preserving a consistent tonal balance. This makes placement more forgiving and helps maintain clarity and intelligibility, even when the talent moves their head or changes position.

High SPL Handling

Designed for loud sources, the 4061 CORE+ can handle up to 139 dB SPL peak with less than 1% THD, and up to 144 dB SPL peak at 10% THD. This impressive headroom allows it to cope with powerful singers, energetic dialogue and dynamic stage environments without breaking up or sounding harsh.

Professional Connectivity

This version of the 4061 CORE+ is supplied with a TA4F mini XLR connector for use with compatible wireless systems. The low output impedance and ability to drive long cable runs via appropriate adapters provide a stable, low-noise signal path suitable for demanding professional setups.

• CORE+ Miniature Mic Technology - The integrated CORE+ preamp stage reduces distortion and improves linearity across the full dynamic range, giving you cleaner audio, greater detail and more headroom, which in turn makes mixing easier and more predictable.
• Omnidirectional, Natural Sound - The pressure-operated omnidirectional capsule offers a flat, extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, capturing voices and ambience with a natural, open character that suits broadcast, theatre and live sound applications.
• Handles Extremely Loud SPL - With the ability to handle up to 139 dB SPL peak at less than 1% THD, the 4061 CORE+ is well suited to loud stages and powerful performers, maintaining clarity and intelligibility where lesser miniature mics would compress or distort.
• TA4F Mini XLR Connectivity - The TA4F mini XLR connector allows straightforward integration with compatible wireless beltpack transmitters, providing a secure, professional connection that supports reliable performance in demanding live and broadcast environments.
