help DPA 4072 FAQ
Is the DPA 4072 a directional or omnidirectional microphone?
The DPA 4072 is designed as a miniature omnidirectional lavalier microphone. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures consistent sound capture regardless of how the speaker's head moves, making it highly forgiving for live broadcast environments.
What does the high SPL rating mean for the DPA 4072?
The high Sound Pressure Level (SPL) rating means the DPA 4072 can capture incredibly loud audio sources—up to 142 dB—without distorting or clipping the audio signal. This makes it uniquely suited for hiding in costumes near blaring musical instruments or loud theatrical performers.
How does the DPA 4072 connect to a wireless bodypack?
The DPA 4072 features DPA's proprietary MicroDot connector system. This allows the microphone to be adapted to nearly any wireless broadcast system on the market, including brands like Shure, Sennheiser, and Sony, simply by swapping out the threaded adapter.
Is the DPA 4072 suitable for outdoor use in windy conditions?
While the DPA 4072 is highly durable, its omnidirectional diaphragm is still susceptible to wind noise if exposed directly outdoors. Broadcasters typically use specially designed foam windscreens or heavy-duty furry windjammers over the capsule to mitigate wind noise during field interviews.
