Need help choosing?

Choose the 6061 when you need the smallest possible DPA lavalier but expect high sound-pressure levels, such as theatre, performance, film dialogue or talent miking where extra headroom is useful. If maximum sensitivity and lower self-noise are more important than extreme SPL capability, compare it with the DPA 6060. For wireless use, match the selected connector or MicroLock adapter to your transmitter.

The DPA CORE 6061 is a 3mm subminiature omnidirectional lavalier microphone developed for professional film, television, theatre, broadcast and location-sound work where an exceptionally discreet microphone still needs to cope with very high sound pressure levels. CORE by DPA technology keeps distortion low while retaining the natural, consistent sound associated with DPA's larger miniature microphones.

The stainless-steel capsule housing is PVD coated for durability, while the 1.8m cable uses a rugged strain relief and Kevlar-reinforced construction. Choose from Black, Beige, White or Brown and select the termination that matches your wireless system. MicroLock provides DPA's current locking connector platform, while the hardwired options are prepared in-house for common professional transmitter formats.
