help DPA Microphones 6060 FAQ
What is DPA CORE technology and does the 6060 have it?
The DPA 6060 is part of DPA's 6000 CORE series, which features an upgraded amplifier design that reduces distortion and expands dynamic range compared to the older 4000 Original Series. The CORE platform was introduced to address intermodulation distortion at high SPL levels that some users experienced with earlier DPA miniature mics.
How does the DPA 6060 differ from the DPA 4060?
The 6060 incorporates CORE amplifier technology for improved distortion performance and a redesigned capsule housing for better moisture resistance compared to the original 4060. Both are omnidirectional miniature lavaliers from DPA, but the 6060 represents the newer generation with refinements aimed at demanding professional use.
What connector does the DPA 6060 use?
The DPA 6060 comes with a MicroDot connector, allowing it to be paired with DPA's extensive range of adapter cables for wireless systems from Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Lectrosonics, and others. A MicroDot-to-XLR adapter is also available for wired applications using standard phantom power.
Is the DPA 6060 more moisture-resistant than the 4060 for outdoor production?
The 6060's redesigned capsule construction offers improved resistance to humidity and moisture compared to the original 4060, making it better suited for outdoor film and TV production. Sound mixers working in challenging weather conditions frequently choose the 6000 series over the older 4000 series for this reason.
