DPA 6060 CORE Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Normal SPL

The DPA CORE 6060 Subminiature Lavalier Microphone is just three millimetres in diameter – two millimetres smaller than DPA’s existing 4000 series of miniature microphones. Despite its unobtrusive size, it’s exceptionally clear, consistent and highly durable.

  • – Amazingly tiny 3mm capsules
  • CORE by DPA technology
  • – Renowned DPA sound

DPA have taken their new CORE by DPA technology that reduces distortion and increases dynamic range and shrunk it down to fit into the DPA 6060’s 3mm (.12 in) subminiature Microphone capsule, meaning you don’t have to compromise on sound to focus on the size and aesthetics.

This Microphone is available in four colours: black, brown, beige and white.

Where to buy

Product Description

The DPA 6060 (Normal SPL) is an omnidirectional microphone that carries a frequency range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz and has a noise floor of only 24 dB(A). It’s well suited for capturing speech and can also be used to close Microphone a wide range of instruments.

This subminiature Microphone outperforms all other mics in their class with a lower noise floor than any other 3 mm capsule on the market.

Stainless steel construction makes the mics in the 6000 series extremely durable. They can tolerate high temperatures and they’re resilient against impacts and resistant to abrasion. The subminiature mics use the same size cable as on DPA’s 5 mm mics. The cables are extremely durable, do not become entangled and withstand rough pulls.

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