The DPA 4466 CORE+ Omnidirectional Headset Microphone combines DPA’s renowned 5 mm capsules with CORE+ by DPA technology and the Red Dot award-winning headset.
These are the most advanced headsets - secure, durable and flexible - for segments including: Theatre, Broadcast, House of Worship and Conferencing.
This omni mic offers clean and transparent sound quality with lots of headroom. The microphone’s sensitivity is 6 mV/Pa. This matches the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. When powered correctly, the microphone will be able to handle very high sound pressure levels up to 134 dB SPL so users can both speak and sing into the mic with no hint of distortion. The max SPL handling is an impressive 144 dB.
CORE+ is a revolutionary leap ahead in microphone design, blurring the lines between what is and isn’t acoustically possible.
CORE+ is a technology that neutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone making any residual distortion imperceptible to the naked ear and virtually unmeasurable.
Removing these remnants of distortion allows sound engineers to capture a new level of audio clarity easily and efficiently, so they can shape an extraordinary listening experience for the audience.
CORE+ applications
Microphones with CORE+ deliver crystal clear, distortion-free sound across the entire dynamic range of the microphone. Anyone seeking the highest possible sound quality will appreciate CORE+.
Whether recording or amplifying content, the sound will remain clear and completely undistorted by the microphone, even when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes.
Especially at higher sound pressure levels and with multiple microphones on stage, the elimination of distortion will enhance the overall clarity and transparency of the entire sound image.
For miniature microphones in particular, sound professionals in theaters and film industry are the primary beneficiaries.
Core vs CORE+, what is the difference?
Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels.
Miniature microphones with CORE+ provide unheard levels of openness. While CORE allows mics to handle higher SPLs without significant artifacts up to 1% THD, CORE+ eliminates those artifacts completely.
With CORE+ DPA has shifted the sound pressure level at which they achieve THD 0.5% to be nearly the same as THD 1%.
