The DPA 4061 is a miniature omnidirectional lavalier microphone designed for professional audio capture.

This microphone is ideal for filmmakers, videographers, podcasters, and anyone requiring exceptionally clear audio in portable recording situations.

help DPA 4061 FAQ

What wireless transmitter systems are compatible with the DPA 4061 lavalier mic?

The DPA 4061 is widely available in multiple hardwired connector variations to seamlessly integrate with popular systems. You can purchase models equipped with MicroDot, TA4F, or Lemo connectors to directly plug into Sennheiser, Shure, or Sony belt-pack transmitters without adapters.

How well does the DPA 4061 handle hidden placement under clothing?

Because of its incredibly miniature omnidirectional capsule and high SPL handling, the 4061 is exceptionally forgiving when taped to skin or hidden under thick fabrics. To completely eliminate cloth rustle, it is best paired with DPA's specialized concealment accessories like the Vampire Clip.

Can I plug the DPA 4061 directly into a smartphone or DSLR camera?

If you buy the MicroDot version, you can use a DPA MicroDot-to-3.5mm adapter to plug the mic into a smartphone, but it requires plug-in power from the device to operate. Without the correct adapter or a dedicated phantom power supply, the microphone will not function.

Is the DPA 4061 waterproof enough to use outdoors in the rain?

The DPA 4061 is highly resistant to sweat and moisture, making it a favorite for theatrical productions and outdoor broadcasting in light drizzle. However, it is not fully submersible, and heavy rain can eventually penetrate the protective mesh screen and short the diaphragm.
