DPA 4066-OC-A-C00-LH 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector, Brown

The 4066-OC-A-C00-LH from DPA Microphones is part of the 4066 Series. The cable is terminated with a MicroDot connector, enabling use with a variety of cable adapters, supporting a range of 3rd-party wireless transmitters using DPA's flexible adapter system (adapters and transmitters sold separately – see note below).

Thanks to its pristine sound and durability, the 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone has been the chosen headset mic for broadcasters along with theaters on Broadway and London's West End. Its unique construction allows you to detach the mic boom from the headset mount then reattach it to either the left or right side. Often an issue in theatrical applications, humidity is no problem here. It's made with a double-vent protection system and a drop stopper on the mic boom. Plus, the materials inside the mic are also water resistant. This design makes it very difficult for the microphone to fail due to humidity. In addition, its surface is matte-gold plated and the ear hooks are covered with a silicone hose.

The mic features a sensitivity is 6 mV/Pa which matches the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. If powered properly, the microphone will be able to handle sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL before clipping occurs.

One of the most clear, consistent, and robust miniature microphones available on the market, the legacy 4066 is known for working across a wide dynamic range as well as exhibiting low distortion across all SPLs.

It's a powerful technology at the heart of DPA's miniature microphones. Distortion is minimized, so whether it's a whisper or a scream, you'll experience added clarity and openness.

Note: To complete this microphone setup, you'll need to add a MicroDot-compatible adapter (sold separately). Please refer to items located under the "ACCESSORIES" tab above, or if necessary, contact your Sales Pro for more information.
