The black 6066 CORE from DPA is a subminiature, lightweight omnidirectional headset microphone with an advanced, fully adjustable, stainless steel headset mechanism. The barely noticeable, dual-ear design offers a very comfortable wearing experience for presenters and performers while the tiny 3mm mic capsule provides broadcast-quality sound up to the demanding standards of theater, TV, and live event professionals.
The 6066 fits the wearer by using 3-point ear grips with spring mechanisms that grip comfortably above and below the ears and to the side of the head for added security. The 2-way adjustable boom system—length and height—features an anti-rotate mechanism that makes it easy to position the tiny 3mm mic capsule for optimal sound quality. A sliding lock mechanism secures the boom positioning. In addition, the 90° cable management system safeguards the cable from stress and directs it down the wearer's back, where it can't be seen.
DPA's CORE technology is at the heart of the electret-condenser capsule, providing an ultralow noise floor and wide dynamic range, even though this capsule is 60% smaller than comparable DPA models. With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters to deliver clean, transparent, and reliable sound for critical performances and presentations.
The 6066 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless microphone transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector. A foam windscreen, protective cover, makeup cover, and carrying case are included.
