Remember the Essentials
You will need a connection adapter. Make sure to get the proper adapter for your needs.
The DPA 4066 is a low profile omnidirectional microphone with a flexible headband that enables the boom to be positioned at the right or left sides. The 4066 is ideal for use in performances, presentations, broadcasts and more. The omnidirectional polar pattern provides a uniform frequency response while exhibiting optimum rejection of residual off-axis noise and feedback. The microphone capsule measures only 5.4mm in diameter and is designed to resist moisture and humidity.
The lightweight, form fitting headband is unobtrusive and comfortable during long term use. The sensitivity is 6 mV/Pa to match the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. The 4066 is available with the boom mounted on the left or right, and its overall performance is more than suitable for the most demanding applications.
Note! All DPA microphones feature a proprietary MicroDot connection and may require an optional adapter for use with various wireless microphone transmitters. Please click here for a complete listing of all available DPA adapters on the B&H website.

Comments about DPA Microphones 4066 Miniature Omnidirectional Headworn Microphone (Beige):
Here's an anecdotal story that demonstrates the greatness of a good omnidirectional mic: I bought this mic for my adult son to use for live sound with his rock band. "An omni for live sound?", you ask. I shared the same reservations. Well, read on.
With the DPA, his vocal sounded much better than everyone else's, (whose mics range from $250-$450). So much so that the band's leader decided to upgrade his own headworn mic to a major brand cardioid costing only slightly less than the DPA.
Guess which mic had more feedback problems in rehearsal - the DPA omni, or the other high-end cardioid?
If you guessed the omni, I tricked you. The cardioid fed back more readily. In fact, my son says he could walk right in front of the speakers with no feedback. I've verified this fact observing their performances, but must admit to being a little surprised.
Moral of the story: because a good omni has a more even frequency response than all but high end cardioids, it will feed back less, even though there is more leakage due to its omnidirectional pattern. (Not all leakage is bad leakage.)
Rich vocal overtones, and transparent detail make this mic a standout in sonic quality, with a clear, intimate sound.
It's hard to get that quality in a cardioid directional mic. The phase cancellations needed to achieve the cardioid pattern cancel vital harmonic detail that can never be recovered down line. Only the most expensive directionals minimize this effect. (I've never used the DPA headworn cardioids, but they may do precisely that.)
The harmonic detail and superior transient response of the DPA 4066, also provide better intelligibility, so that vocals cut through the mix without being painfully loud.
DPA mics, (formerly B&K), cost a little more than many, but they are actually a better value. The best tools in the hands of competent professionals make a big difference.
