DPA 4266-OC-F-F00-MH 4266 Omnidirectional Flex Headset Mic with MicroDot Connector, Beige

The DPA Microphones 4266-OC-F-F00-MH combines the legendary sound of DPA's 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule with a lightweight, flexible Headset microphone. This sweet condenser mic is quick and easy to adjust, delivering clean, transparent sound quality with lots of headroom. This particular model comes in beige, and features a 90mm boom as well as a MicroDot cable termination that's compatible with DPA's flexible adapter system (see "Adapter system offers you Flexibility" section below, adapters sold separately).

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.

The 4266 Headset Microphone offers accurate, natural voice intelligibility along with very high SPL-handling capabilities. Users can both speak and/or sing into the mic with no hint of distortion. The mic capsule is optimized for low distortion as well as humidity resistance.

This Headset-mount model is the best choice for active performance situations where consistent and secure placement is of paramount importance. Simply rotate the boom and ear hook, then the microphone can be easily used on either the left or the right ear.

One of the clearest, consistent, and most potent miniature mics available, the legacy 4066 is renowned for performing across a wide dynamic range as well as delivering low distortion across all SPLs. DPA's updated amplifier technology enables you to squeeze even more performance out of your mics with an additional 14 dB THD and Dynamic range.

From a whisper to a scream, you'll experience increased clarity and openness, so users will get more flexibility because a wider dynamic range enables a single mic to capture a wider range of sounds and in more varied applications. Additionally, 4266 microphones deliver water and moisture resistance through nano coating and hermetic sealing of sensitive internal electronics.

The available adapters for wireless systems provide you with flexible, simple, and affordable possibilities when you choose the MicroDot termination (adapters sold separately). No longer are you bound to a single wireless system. As your circumstances change, you can just swap your adapter, rather than incur the cost of a completely new microphone. When you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.

DPA's series of miniature microphones will work with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more using the appropriate adapter (transmitters and adapters sold separately). DPA's ingenious adapter system is one of a kind in the industry. It protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
