DPA d:screet 4071 Mini Omnidirectional, Standard Sensitivity
Product Description
4071 Omnidirectional, Low-cut, Presence Boost
An outstanding speech and vocal mic, the 4071 will make your voice heard and intelligible. Use it for all ENG/EFP and even applications which require small microphones that are resistant to moisture, extreme temperature change and humidity.
When recording voices from mic placement on a performer's body, no frequency below 100 Hz is attractive. For this reason, an acoustical low-cut has been incorporated in the 4071 capsule so the built-in pre amp (and the wireless system) will have much larger headroom. Furthermore, it removes distant rumbling from cars, trains, airplanes, etc.
Another and equally important consideration is that when placing a microphone on the body, espcially on the chest, the frequency range of the consonants is damped, resulting in poor intelligibility. The 4071 has a built-in boost to compensate for this loss. Especially for ENG work the 4071 is perfect because almost no ENG mixer leaves any possibility for a compensation of this kind.
The 4071 lapel mic is available in three colors: black, beige and white.
Applications
Typical applications are ENG/EFP use on the reporter in studio or in the field, or film production use, with hidden microphone placements on the actors.
Wireless microphones
A wide range of connection adapters makes it possible to use DPA miniature microphones with all professional UHF, VHF or digital wireless system available plus 48 V Phantom.
DPA has specific adapters for AKG, Audio Ltd., Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Electro-Voice, Lectrosonics, Line 6, Micron, Mipro, Pastega, Telex ProStar, Ramsa, Samson, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Toa, Vega and other systems. Each adapter for your cordless microphone is guaranteed to perfectly mate to your system of choice.
Specifications
The 4071 features a specially designed, fixed microphone grid with a soft presence boost of typically 5 dB at 4 to 6 kHz. Speech intelligibility, clarity and definition of voices and instruments lie within the area that the 4071 grid boosts. For full technical specs, please click the Specifications tab above.
