DPA Microphones 6061 CORE Subminiature Low-Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone with MicroLock Connector (Black)

The black DPA 6061 CORE is a subminiature, low-sensitivity, moisture-resistant lavalier microphone designed for use with wireless systems for video/film/TV, broadcast, performance, and theatrical applications. This version of the mic features a compact and reliable MicroLock connector that will work with a wide variety of wireless transmitters via separately available adapters. The tiny, 3mm electret-condenser capsule delivers crisp, clear, and intelligible speech, while being easy to hide in clothing or costumes, making the mic well suited to the demands of professional presentations, theater and live stage work, as well as TV, film, and video productions.

The 6061 shrinks DPA's CORE technology down to a 60% smaller size that still delivers extended dynamic range and extremely low self noise for outstanding sound quality. An included capsule protection grid protects the mic element and supplies a subtle 4 dB soft boost between 8 to 20 kHz, lightly enhancing signal presence to ensure clarity. The cap can be removed for cleaning and attaches to the mic with a firm click that can be felt and heard. The 6061 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter.

Modular System Featuring MicroLock Connector

MicroLock for Secure, Dependable Connections
Built to withstand the rigors of long-term everyday use, DPA's MicroLock system features an easy-to-use, secure, and wear-resistant locking connector specially engineered to minimize accidental disconnection and ensure reliable performance. The compact design is well suited to situations where space is limited and a visually discreet solution is preferred.

Adapters Available for Various Wireless Transmitters
The 6061 will work with a wide variety of wireless transmitters via separately available adapters. Simply choose the MicroLock adapter with the appropriate connector for your bodypack transmitter and you're good to go.

Backward Compatible
MicroLock is fully backwards compatible with the MicroDot connection; MicroLock parts can be assembled with MicroDot parts and function as if they were of the MicroDot type. Please note that the locking function is only available if both the male and female parts are MicroLock.

An Easily Concealed Subminiature Microphone Solution

A Crisp, Clear Sound for Professional Applications
Despite the small size, the diaphragm design offers a clean and natural sound optimized for the human voice. The 6061 CORE features a 3mm capsule that is fully comparable to DPA's larger microphones but allows it to be even more inconspicuous and easily disguised in clothing or costumes. The entire mic has a pleasant matte finish for a smaller and less obtrusive appearance.

Low-Sensitivity for Loud Speech and Vocals
The 6061 CORE features a sensitive capsule designed for loud speech and vocal applications and can handle SPLs up to 125 dB RMS and 128 dB peak with less than 1% distortion. Even at 144 dB peak SPL, the mic only exhibits 10% distortion, making it well-suited to a variety of presenters, vocalists, and performers.

Soft Boost Grid Included
The pre-fitted protection cap gives a 4 dB soft boost in the 8 to 20 kHz range for added clarity and can be detached for cleaning.

Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The forgiving omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all around the mic and provides a consistent frequency response, even for off-axis sound. This helps to supply clear, intelligible speech and vocals, even when the talent turns away from the microphone.

Reliable Performance
Both the mic and its protection cap are made of durable stainless steel and treated with a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating that allows it to tolerate high temperatures and makes it impact resilient and abrasion resistant.

Tough, Moisture-Resistant Construction
The 6061 is certified IP58 for dust and moisture resistance. The rugged 5.9' cable is built with Kevlar strain relief to survive the constant twists, bends, and pulls that are part of everyday use in harsh environments.
