DPA Microphones 4266-OP-F-C90-MH 4266 CORE+ Omni Flex Headset Mic (Brown)

Professional-Grade Headset Microphone for Speech and Performance Clarity

The DPA 4266 CORE+ Omnidirectional Flex Headset Microphone delivers outstanding speech intelligibility and natural sound reproduction in a low-profile, dual-ear format. Built with DPA’s renowned CORE+ amplifier technology and a 5.4mm capsule derived from the popular 4066, this headset provides reliable performance for conferences, stage productions, live broadcasts, and houses of worship. The lightweight frame and medium-length 90mm boom make it easy to position the mic comfortably and discreetly, ensuring the speaker or performer can focus without distraction.

Flexible and Discreet Fit for Any User or Application

The ergonomic headset design adapts to a wide range of ear shapes and head sizes, ensuring a snug and virtually invisible fit. The 90mm boom arm offers precise mic placement without obstructing the wearer’s face, while the dual-ear frame enhances stability for active situations. This mic can be used on either the left or right side, and its cable system detaches from the boom, enabling fast swaps when replacing a cable or changing out a transmitter connector.

Secure and Modular MicroLock Connector System

The included MicroLock connector ensures a dependable, wear-resistant cable connection that resists accidental disconnection. Its compact size allows for discreet cable routing in tight setups, ideal for on-camera talent or live presentations. Compatible with a wide range of wireless bodypack transmitters via optional adapters, this modular system is built to minimize downtime and maximize flexibility in professional workflows.

High SPL Handling with CORE+ Technology for Distortion-Free Audio

Designed for demanding vocal applications, the 4266 CORE+ microphone can handle SPL levels up to 134 dB RMS and 137 dB peak before hitting 1% distortion—making it a strong choice for everything from corporate speaking to energetic theatrical performance. With DPA’s CORE+ tech, you get increased dynamic range and reduced distortion across the board, even in high-pressure acoustic environments.

Omnidirectional Pickup for Consistent and Natural Audio

The omnidirectional capsule captures sound evenly from all angles, maintaining consistent volume and tonal quality even when the performer moves their head. This helps reduce issues like plosives and mic handling noise while providing a clear and balanced sound ideal for voice reinforcement, dialogue recording, or narration.

Tailor Your Sound with Interchangeable High-Frequency Grids

Included with the microphone are two removable stainless steel caps that shape the mic’s tonal response. The Soft-Boost cap gently lifts high frequencies for added clarity, while the High-Boost cap provides a stronger presence in the 12 kHz region—ideal for reinforcing brightness in speech or compensating for muffling effects from stage wardrobe or hair.

Rugged Construction for Everyday Production Environments

Built for real-world use, the 4266 headset mic includes an IP58-certified design that resists dust and moisture intrusion. Its 4.1-foot cable is reinforced with Kevlar strain relief, offering superior durability under repeated bending and pulling—essential for frequent setup, teardown, and live production use.
