DPA d:screet 4080 4080-DL-D-B00 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone, Black

Full Description

Intuitive and versatile mounting and placement

The DPA 4080 comes as standard with a DMM0014 mounting clip. This clip boasts a unique and intelligent design that enables you to mount your 4080 on both left and right-buttoned shirts. The mounting design utilises a ball-shaped fixation spot, which provides you with the ability to rotate the microphone in all directions to achieve the perfect positioning. The clip also features a simple system to dramatically reduce cable noise - using a short cable trail for securing the microphone cable, you can be sure that undesirable cable noise stays clear of your high-quality microphone signal.

Highly-effective cardioid polar pattern

The cardioid polar pattern is perfect for vocal applications - with more sensitivity at the front of the microphone and significantly less at the sides and rear, a cardioid pattern reduces the capture of ambient noise and unwanted sound sources. This powerful pattern is ideal for live performances, be it music or spoken-word. The narrow angle of sensitivity minimizes bleed from other sources, capturing only what you want to be heard. DPA's unique capsule design prevents any colourization of the sound from the sides or rear, creating a perfect and organic sound stage for your performance.

Pre-equalised design with a 4dB presence boost

The 4080 is optimized for spoken word and vocals, and features a 4dB presence boost that combats the dampening of consonants that occurs when a microphone is mounted on an individual's chest. This powerful feature ensures your vocals and speech retain optimum intelligibility and clarity, whilst maintaining an overall natural tonality. The 4080 is perfect for broadcasts, conferences, and other live performances both in the studio and in the field. It boasts an incredibly unobtrusive design with intelligent sonic performance, allowing the mic to be mounted out of the way whilst still retaining class-leading performance.
