DPA Microphones 4062 CORE Omni Mic, Extreme SPL, Black, MicroDot

The DPA Microphones 4062 CORE Omni Mic, Extreme SPL, is similar to the others in this DPA Microphones series, but is sensitivity adjusted to match extremely loud sound pressure levels. With the correct power source, the microphone will be able to handle sound pressure levels of up to 154 dB before clipping occurs, making it ideal for close-miking drums and brass. The microphone is also the perfect choice for miking in the engine compartment of cars or directly in the exhaust pipes.This mic is based on DPA’s original 4060—the very first miniature microphone developed by DPA from the best technology previously only used in hearing aids and measurement microphones. This mic was developed to withstand the toughest of conditions. It contains a 5.4 mm diameter pre-polarized condenser element with a vertical diaphragm. This unique, Double Vent Protection System makes the mic greatly resistant to humidity and sweat. This mic is also designed with a Kevlar-reinforced cable relief, which is built to withstand the constant twists, bends and pulls that are part of the everyday use in harsh environments.
