The brown DPA 4061 CORE with TA4F Adapter is a miniature, moisture-resistant lavalier microphone designed for use with wireless systems for broadcast, performance, and theatrical applications. The low-sensitivity electret-condenser capsule can handle loud vocalists, 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.

This version of the 4061 uses DPA's CORE technology to deliver a 4 dB increase in dynamic range and a 14 dB reduction in noise over the 4061 Legacy model. The mic includes two interchangeable capsule-protection grids that alter the sonic character of the microphone. The High-Boost Grid creates a peak at 12 kHz, helpful for chest placement, while the Soft-Boost Grid offers a subtle boost between 8 to 20 kHz, lightly enhancing signal presence to ensure clarity.

With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters. The mic can also be used very effectively to capture instruments—making it a flexible tool for houses of worship and live event productions. The 4061 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector. This version includes a TA4F adapter compatible with Shure wireless microphone transmitters.

• Shure: Works with Shure transmitters equipped with a TA4F connector, including the AD1, ADX1, AXT100TA4M, BLX1, GLXD1, MXW1, PGXD1, QLXD1, SLX1, SLXD1, ULX1, and ULXD1. Also supports Line 6 and TOA transmitters.
• The modular design allows you to adapt the 4061's Microdot connector to a wide variety of transmitters simply by purchasing the compatible adapter—saving you the expense of buying another microphone.

The DAD6001 Microdot to 3-pin XLR adapter (available separately) allows you to power the 4061 from 12 to 48V phantom power for wired applications.

Q: 2. is this compatible with dji?

A: No, the Polsen Polsen Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser and Polsen UWM Transmitters is not compatible with the DJI mic.

Q: 3. Does this mic require phantom power?

A: The Shure TwinPlex TL48 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone requires only 5V, but to enable connection with an XLR input, the Shure RPM400TQG Wired TwinPlex Microphone Preamp is included, which does require phantom power to activate, but it does not allow phantom power to be passed through to the mic. The RPM400TQG converts phantom power to the proper amount of voltage that the mic requires.

Q: 4. Do these come with the metal clips and space brackets? If not, which clip/brackets are compatible?

A: Yes, the DPA Microphones Clear Concealer Top for d:screet 4060/61/62/63/71 does include the metal clip and space brackets. I confirmed this information with DPA.

Q: 5. How would I use this microphone with a GoPro Hero5? I would like to keep it as simple as possible.

A: This DPA 4060 has a locking 3.5mm connector and it also requires 5 to 10V of plug-in power so I would not recommend it for use with the GoPro Hero5. The 4060 is really designed for use with a wireless transmitter, not for direct connection to a camera. Additionally, the 3.5mm GoPro mic adapter has a standard non-locking input so the mic will not be connected securely and it is very likely that the mic may require more voltage than the camera can supply. You definitely can use the DPA 4060 with a wireless mic system such as the Sennheiser EW 112P G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System - A: 516 to 558 MHz (B&H # SEEW112PG4A) -- you can choose the frequency band. The wireless transmitter will supply the proper voltage for the mic and the wireless receiver will connect to the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter (B&H # GO35MA) without any problems. We also have other wireless mic systems that use the same type of locking connector and wiring as Sennheiser which would be compatible with with the 4060 mic. We can also help you to select a different mic if you do prefer to use a wired mic with the Hero5. Please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website for further assistance.

Q: 6. How's this mic function with the Sennheiser G4 system?

A: This mic does not include a connector for any wireless system directly. To make this work with a Sennheiser G4 system, you will need to purchase the DPA Microdot connector for a Sennheiser system BH #DPDAD6034.

Q: 7. Is it compatible with Rode wirelless go II?

A: This mic has a 3,5mm locking connector so it may not connect properly or securely to the input on a Rode Wireless GO II transmitter. It would be better to use a different mic that has a standard non-locking 3.5mm connector, such as the Polsen OLM-10 (B&H # POOLM10) or Polsen PL-4 (B&H # POPL4) to assure compatibility and prevent problems like having the mic accidentally disconnect or create noise from improper connection at the input.

Q: 8. Hello. Do I need anything additional to use these lavs. I have a SD 633 mixer, and was considering getting these and just running standard xlr cables to these. I did however come across a discussion that talked about using DPA DAD3056 for these lavs?

A: The DPA Core 4060 comes in the box with the microdot to XLR, all you need is XLR cables to run it back to the SD 633. If you own Lectrosonics wireless transmitters with TA5 inputs the microdot DAD3056 will allow you to connect the lavaliers to your Lectrosonic wireless system directly.

Q: 9. Polsen cardioid is compatible with Polsen UWM-2?

A: Yes, the Polsen Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser and Polsen UWM Transmitters is compatible for use with the transmitters that are included with the Polsen UWM-2 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System.

Q: 10. (Sorry-- unable to edit previously submitted question about difference between two similar stereo pairs of 4061 being offered by B&H) Specifically, I'm wondering if there is any downside to the newer (I presume) model. That is, is it equal to, or better than, the older 4061, in every technical detail? Thank you. DG

A: The DPA Microphones d:screet Core 4061 is much improved over the original "legacy" 4061: as described on the B&H Webpage: DPA Microphones d:screet Core 4061 The Core 4061 miniature microphone amplifier delivers a 4 dB increase in dynamic range and a 14 dB reduction in THD (total harmonic distortion)
