DPA 4063 CORE Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Loud SPL & Low DC

The DPA CORE 4063 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (with Loud SPL & Low DC) is similar to the CORE 4060 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, but designed for use with 3V bias transmitters (instead of the more common 5V).

The Microphone is acoustically identical to the CORE 4060 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, but the internal pre-amplifier’s input stage is designed to work with a lower supply voltage of 3 volts. With the correct power source, the microphone can handle sound pressure levels (SPLs) up to 138 dB before clipping occurs.

The DPA 4063 is available in three colours: black, beige and white.

Product Description

The DPA Lavalier series is the world’s leading Microphone for speech and vocal performance and has become the industry standard microphone in live theatre and broadcast. Now in its next evolution, the CORE 4060 series of Miniature Omnidirectional Microphones bring extra clarity and detail to live speech and vocals, further distancing themselves from their competitors.

The DPA CORE 4063 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone was developed to withstand even the toughest of conditions in live performance, containing a 5.4 mm diameter pre-polarized condenser element with a vertical diaphragm.

The DPA CORE 4063 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is an omnidirectional microphone has sensitivity at all angles – which means it’s capable picking up sound equally from all directions.

A double vent protection system makes the Microphone greatly resistant to humidity and sweat, whilst its Kevlar-reinforced cable relief can withstand constant every-day twists, bends and pulls of any live performance. ­­Adding further flexibility, the microphone can be configured to run easily and effortlessly with a huge range of the industry’s preferred wireless systems, but if you prefer, the mics is available with an XLR adapter to run via a wired system.

All CORE by DPA Microphones are now IP58 Rated for water and dust ingress
