The 6060 and 6061 CORE Subminiature Microphones by DPA, each only 3 mm in size, deliver outstanding audio performance with a focus on clarity and durability. The 6060 excels in normal SPL environments, while the 6061 is designed for high SPL situations. Both models offer unparalleled sound quality in a compact design.
The 6060/61 CORE Subminiature Microphones redefine expectations for audio performance in a remarkably small package. These 3 mm microphones incorporate CORE by DPA technology, ensuring outstanding clarity, minimal distortion, and an expanded dynamic range. Their tiny size does not compromise the renowned DPA sound quality, making them ideal for professional applications where aesthetics and audio quality are equally important.
The 6060/61 models boast impressive technical capabilities. They have a lower noise floor than other microphones of similar size, adeptly handling high sound pressure levels without distortion. This makes them suitable for a variety of demanding environments, from quiet studios to loud live performances. Their omnidirectional pattern captures sound uniformly, ensuring natural and consistent audio pickup.
Crafted from stainless steel and featuring a durable grid design, these microphones are built to last. They can endure high temperatures, resist impacts, and withstand exposure to water and sweat. The same rugged, Kevlar-reinforced cable used in DPA's larger mics is featured here, providing exceptional durability and tangle resistance. The integrated strain relief in the mic housing further enhances their robustness.
The 6060 is tailored for normal SPL environments with a higher sensitivity of 20 mV/Pa, capturing nuanced sounds in less noisy settings. In contrast, the 6061 is designed for louder environments with a lower sensitivity of 6 mV/Pa, effectively handling higher SPLs up to 144 dB without distortion.
These microphones are available in multiple colors—black, beige, brown, and white—to blend with various environments or clothing. They offer versatile connectivity options, including MicroDot, TA4F Mini-XLR, 3-pin LEMO, and Mini-Jack, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio systems.
The 6060/61 can be used in multiple configurations, including as lavaliers or part of the 6066 Subminiature Headset, offering flexibility for different performance requirements. Accessories like the 8-way clip provide easy mounting in various positions, enhancing the microphones' adaptability to different clothing styles and ensuring optimal placement for clear audio capture.
