help DPA Microphones 4060 FAQ
Is the DPA 4060 omnidirectional or directional?
The DPA 4060 is an omnidirectional miniature lavalier microphone, despite what some product listings may suggest. It is part of DPA's Original Series of omnidirectional miniature mics and is one of the most widely used lavaliers in professional theater and broadcast worldwide.
What connector does the DPA 4060 use, and can I connect it to a Sennheiser wireless system?
The DPA 4060 is available with a MicroDot connector and can be adapted to virtually any professional wireless bodypack using DPA's branded adapter cables. This includes systems from Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Audio-Technica, and Lectrosonics, making it extremely versatile across different wireless ecosystems.
Can the DPA 4060 handle loud instruments like snare drums or guitar cabs?
The DPA 4060 has an acoustic overload point around 138 dB SPL, which is suitable for many close-miking applications but can be pushed to clipping on very loud sources. For extremely loud instruments like kick drums or direct guitar cabinets, the DPA 4061 or 4062 with their lower sensitivity are typically better choices.
How do I hide the DPA 4060 in hair or costumes for theater production?
The DPA 4060's capsule measures only about 5.4 mm in diameter, making it small enough to conceal in wigs, along hairlines, or under costume fabric using DPA's dedicated concealment accessories. DPA also offers the 4060 in multiple skin-tone colors to further aid visual concealment on stage and on camera.
