DPA Microphones 4080-DP-D-B03 CORE Cardioid Lavalier Microphone (Black)

Professional Cardioid Lavalier Microphone for Broadcast and Presentations
The DPA 4080 CORE+ Cardioid Lavalier Microphone is designed for high-quality speech reproduction in live events, journalism, and professional broadcast applications. This miniature microphone delivers clear and intelligible speech while maintaining a discreet profile for on-camera use. The electret-condenser capsule ensures a natural sound, making it ideal for presenters, journalists, and public speakers in need of a reliable, high-performance microphone.

CORE+ Technology for Clear and Natural Sound
Featuring DPA’s CORE+ technology, the 4080 expands the dynamic range and reduces self-noise, resulting in pristine audio quality. The mic is optimized for chest placement and includes a built-in 4 dB presence boost in the 4 to 6 kHz range, enhancing speech clarity. This feature ensures the speaker’s voice cuts through background noise, making it ideal for interviews, panel discussions, and public addresses.

Cardioid Polar Pattern for Focused Audio Capture
Unlike omnidirectional lavalier microphones, the 4080 CORE+ features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the speaker’s voice while rejecting background noise. This directional pattern minimizes unwanted ambient sounds and reduces the risk of feedback when used in live sound reinforcement settings. It is a perfect choice for forward-facing presenters in television, conferences, and lecture environments.

Handles High Sound Pressure Levels Without Distortion
With a maximum SPL handling of 134 dB, the 4080 CORE+ can accommodate standard speech levels without clipping. This makes it suitable for a range of speaking applications, from quiet conversations to loud public speaking engagements. The microphone is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter, ensuring seamless integration with wireless systems.

Durable and Discreet Design for Professional Use
The compact and visually unobtrusive design allows for easy concealment on clothing, making it ideal for broadcast, film, and live performance applications. The included lapel clip features a ball-shaped fixation point, allowing the microphone to be rotated for optimal positioning. This unique design ensures consistent sound quality, whether placed on the left or right side of a presenter’s shirt or jacket.

Compatible with Wireless Transmitters Featuring a 3-Pin LEMO Connector
The 4080 CORE+ is wired with a 3-Pin LEMO connector, making it compatible with a range of professional wireless bodypack transmitters. It supports Lectrosonics models such as the SSM and DBu, as well as the Sennheiser SK Series and Wisycom MTP transmitters. The modular design allows for flexible integration with existing wireless microphone systems.
