Name: DPA 4671-OC-H-B00 4671 CORE Heavy-Duty Low-Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone with Presence Boost (Black)
SKU: 526462

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 is a variety of difficult working environments.

The capsule uses DPA's CORE technology to deliver a 97 dB dynamic range with a 14 dB reduction in noise over the Legacy model. 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.

With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters. The 4671 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector.

A Heavy-Duty, Broadcast-Quality Lavalier That's Built to Last

Miniature Mic with a Crisp, Clear Sound

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.

Steel Housing, Moisture-Resistant Construction

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.

Low-Cut Filter and High-Boost EQ for Chest Placement

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.

Lower Sensitivity for Loud Vocals, Speech, and Instruments

The 4671 CORE features a less sensitive capsule designed for loud speech and vocal performances at levels up to 144 dB SPL before clipping. 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.

Omnidirectional Polar Pattern

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.

Additional Options

This version of the DPA 4671 CORE does not include mounts, windscreens, or clips; they are available separately.

The SCM0032-B 2-Way Dual Clip allows you to mount two lavs for broadcasting.
The SCM0013-B 4-Way Clip offers a variety of flexible positioning choices for up, down, left, and right mounting.
To hide the mic, the DMM0021 Concealer attaches safely and securely to clothing and costumes and is designed to resist clothing and rustling noise.
