Product Detail
The DPA 4080 - DC - D - B03 4080 CORE Cardioid Microphone is a great choice for specific acoustic challenges. While our miniature omnidirectional mics are good for wide pickup, in tough acoustic settings, this directional microphone really shines. It captures the human voice with amazing clarity, offering top - notch side rejection and excellent focus on the subject. Ideal for broadcast, conferences, and all kinds of live performances, whether in the studio or on - site. This mic is acoustically pre - equalized, giving a 4 dB presence boost. When placed on the chest, it makes the voice stand out and improves speech intelligibility. It's lightweight and provides great speech reproduction, which professionals will love. It comes with a pre - mounted black pop filter in a holder with an integrated shock mount, fixed on a clip, and there's also an additional white pop filter. Thanks to its flexible and practical mounting, it can be adjusted in all directions to fit both left - and right - buttoned shirts. Technical specs include a cardioid directional pattern, pressure gradient operation, pre - polarized condenser cartridge, 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response, and more.
Using the DPA 4080 CORE Cardioid Microphone is easy. First, choose the right pop filter (black or white) according to your needs and attach it to the mic. Then, use the clip to secure the mic on your shirt. You can adjust the direction of the mic easily to make sure it picks up your voice well. When it comes to power supply, if you're using a wireless system, make sure the voltage is between 5V and 10V through the DPA adapter. With the DAD6001 - BC, you can use P48 (Phantom Power) and it can work from 12V. Keep in mind that the mic can handle different sound pressure levels, but try to avoid exposing it to extremely high noise to prevent distortion. For maintenance, store the mic in a dry place within the temperature range of - 40C to 45C and relative humidity up to 90%. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth if it gets dirty. Also, check the cable regularly for any signs of damage, and if you need to use a long cable, make sure it's within the 300 - meter drive capability with the DAD6001 - BC XLR Adapter.
