Name: DPA Microphones 4660 CORE Heavy-Duty Normal Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone with TA5F Adapter for Lectrosonics LM, SM, and UM Transmitters (Black)
Brand: DPA Microphones
SKU: DP4660OCHB56
Price: 690.00 USD

The black DPA 4660 CORE is a miniature, moisture-resistant lavalier microphone with heavy-duty construction designed for use with wireless systems for broadcast, performance, and theatrical applications. The electret-condenser capsule delivers crisp, clear, and intelligible speech, while the rugged yet unobtrusive design is well suited to the demands of professional live stage work and presentations.

The 4660 is built with stainless-steel housing, a thicker 2.2mm cable, and reinforced strain relief enabling the mic to withstand tough conditions in a variety of difficult working environments. The capsule uses DPA's CORE technology to deliver a 6 dB increase in dynamic range and a 6 dB reduction in noise over the 4660 Legacy model.

Included are two interchangeable capsule protection grids that alter the sonic character of the mic. The High-Boost Grid creates a peak at 12 kHz, helpful for chest placement, while the Soft-Boost Grid offers a subtle boost between 8 to 20 kHz, lightly enhancing signal presence to ensure clarity.

With an SPL rating of 134 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling most standard speakers, vocalists, and presenters. The mic can also be used very effectively to capture instruments—making it a flexible tool for houses of worship and live event productions. The 4660 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector. This version includes a TA5F adapter compatible with select Lectrosonics transmitters.

Modular System Featuring Microdot Connector with TA5F Adapter

Compatible Wireless Transmitters

Lectrosonics: Works with Lectrosonics transmitters equipped with a TA5M connector, including the LM, SM, and UM transmitters.
The modular design allows you to adapt the 4660's Microdot connector to a wide variety of transmitters simply by purchasing the compatible adapter—saving you the expense of buying another microphone.

Optional XLR Adapter for Wired Applications

The DAD6001 Microdot to 3-pin XLR Adapter (available separately) allows you to power the 4660 from 12 or 48V phantom power for wired applications.

A Heavy-Duty, Broadcast-Quality Lavalier That's Built to Last

Steel Housing, Moisture-Resistant Construction

Made for situations where you require maximum security and where the visual size of the mic is less important, this heavy-duty version of the 4060 microphone features stainless steel housing and a thick 2.2mm cable with a reinforced, heavy-duty cable relief. With its double-vent protection system, the 4660 is certified IP58 for dust and moisture resistance and built to survive the constant twists, bends, and pulls that are part of everyday use in harsh environments.

Miniature Mic with a Crisp, Clear Sound

The 4660 CORE offers the same professional audio quality found in the 4060 model, with the same 5.4mm capsule that enables the microphone to be inconspicuous and easily disguised in clothing or costumes. The vertical diaphragm design offers a clear and natural sound optimized for the human voice.

Two Boost Grids Included to Tailor High Frequencies

The pre-fitted Soft-Boost Grid gives a 3 dB soft boost at 8 to 20 kHz range. 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 mic. Alternatively, the High-Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB boost around 12 kHz for applications where chest-placement is preferred. Both grids are made of tough and scratch-resistant anodized stainless steel, allowing them to be detached and cleaned.

Normal Headroom for Standard Speech

The 4660 CORE features a sensitive capsule designed for standard speech and vocal applications at levels up to 134 dB SPL before clipping.

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.

Additional Options

This version of the DPA 4660 CORE does not include mounts, windscreens, or clips; they are available separately.

The SCM0020-B 2-Way Clip is an improved clip for the 4660 Series Heavy Duty miniature mic that is extremely easy to mount and intuitive to use. It provides quick and easy chest mounting with two orientation options.
To hide the mic, the DMM0022 Concealer attaches safely and securely to clothing and costumes and is designed to resist clothing and rustling noise. It features a modular design that allows the top of the concealer to be separated from the base. This lets you to affix the base to clothing and remove the top piece independently.
Foam windscreens to reduce breath and plosive noises are available in multiple colors choices to match clothing.
