Product highlights and buying context
The black DPA 4671 CORE+ is a miniature, moisture-resistant lavalier microphone with heavy-duty construction designed for use with wireless systems for broadcast, performance, and electronic news gathering (ENG) applications. The low-sensitivity electret-condenser capsule can handle loud presenters, speakers, and performers and delivers crisp, clear, and intelligible audio, while the rugged yet unobtrusive design is well suited to the demands of professional live stage work and presentations.
The 4671 is a heavy-duty version of the mic built with stainless-steel housing, a thicker 2.2mm cable, and reinforced strain relief enabling the microphone to withstand rough conditions in a variety of difficult working environments. The mic features a fixed protective EQ grid with a low-cut filter at 100 Hz and a high-boost of approximately +5 dB in the 4 to 6 kHz range. This EQ curve gives the mic improved clarity for chest-placement, making the 4671 popular for journalists and news crews. The 4671 CORE+ is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features a modular design using a MicroLock output connector.
The 4671 CORE+ features a 5.4mm capsule that gives the mic a discreet, low-profile visual appearance. The vertical diaphragm design offers a clear and natural sound optimized for the human voice.
Made for situations where you require maximum security and where the visual size of the mic is less important, this heavy-duty version of the mic features stainless steel housing and a thick 2.2mm Kevlar-reinforced cable with a heavy-duty strain relief. With its double-vent protection system, the 4671 is certified IP58 for dust and moisture resistance and built to survive the constant twists, bends, and pulls that are part of everyday use in harsh environments.
To maximize speech intelligibility, the 4671 features a presence boost of typically 5 dB at 4 to 6 kHz to compensate for dampened consonants that can often occur when the mic is placed on the talent's chest. A low-cut filter at 100 Hz has been incorporated in the 4671's capsule, so the built-in preamplifier (and the wireless system) will have more headroom for clear, distortion-free audio. Additionally, the low-cut filter removes low-frequency rumble, noise, and proximity effect.
The 4671 CORE features a less sensitive capsule designed for loud speech and vocal performances and can handle SPLs of up to 134 dB RMS and 137 dB peak with less than 1% distortion. Even at peak SPL up to 144 dB, the mic only exhibits 10% distortion, making it well suited for loud speech, vocals, and instruments. It also makes the mic well suited to concealment in clothing and costumes and allows the mic to be hidden at the subject's hairline without overloading the input levels.
Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels. Miniature microphones with CORE+ provide unheard levels of openness. While CORE allows mics to handle higher SPLs without significant artifacts up to 1% THD, CORE+ eliminates those artifacts completely.
The forgiving omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all around the mic and provides a consistent frequency response, even for off-axis sound. This helps to supply clear, intelligible speech and vocals, even when the talent turns away from the microphone.
Built to withstand the rigors of long-term everyday use, DPA's MicroLock system features an easy-to-use, secure, and wear-resistant locking connector specially engineered to minimize accidental disconnection and ensure reliable performance. The compact design is well suited to situations where space is limited and a visually discreet solution is preferred.
The 4671 will work with a wide variety of wireless transmitters via separately available adapters. Simply choose the MicroLock adapter with the appropriate connector for your bodypack transmitter and you're good to go.
MicroLock is fully backward compatible with the MicroDot connection; MicroLock parts can be assembled with MicroDot parts and function as if they were of the MicroDot type. Please note that the locking function is only available if both the male and female parts are MicroLock.
This version of the DPA 4671 CORE+ does not include mounts, windscreens, or clips; they are available separately.
