The DPA 4560 CORE+ Binaural Headset Microphone is, in its essence, a pair of 4060 CORE Miniature Omnidirectional Microphones that are mounted on two earhooks (as known from the 4266 Flex type of headset). The microphones are a stereo pair; two handpicked 4060s, selected on sensitivity within ±1.5 dB. The actual headset is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. It adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape while at the same time it mounts securely and is hardly visible. Foam windscreens are supplied with the microphones to secure the position in the ear and to offer some damping of wind noise.
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%.
What is unique about MicroLock®?
The uniqueness of MicroLock lies in its combination of remarkable flexibility with enhanced reliability. As with MicroDot, this new connector allows you to use your microphones with different brands of transmitters, so you don't have to buy a new mic for each system. In other words, you are no longer bound to one wireless system.
MicroLock® Compatibility
DPA has made MicroLock fully backwards compatible with the MicroDot connection.
This means that MicroLock parts can be assembled with MicroDot parts and function as if they were of MicroDot type.
MicroDot tool works for MicroLock®
Please Note: The locking function is only available if both the male and female parts are MicroLock.
