DPA 4466 CORE Omnidirectional Headset Microphone

The DPA 4466 CORE is an omnidirectional headset microphone that pairs DPA’s 5 mm capsule and CORE technology with the Red Dot award-winning headset, for theater, broadcast, houses of worship, and conferencing. DPA has since replaced it with the 4466 CORE+.

Its 6 mV/Pa sensitivity matches a voice to the input of most wireless transmitters, and it handles up to 144 dB SPL peak, so users can speak and sing without distortion.

The one-size frame adjusts quickly and is stainless steel with a PVD coating that tolerates heat and resists impact and abrasion. Ear grips hold above, below, and behind each ear, firmly but gently, so the headset stays secure and comfortable through long wear.

The boom extends, shortens, and pivots at a point below the ear, with an anti-rotation shape and a sliding lock to hold its position at the corner of the mouth. It detaches to move to the other side, and a service connector lets the boom and cable be replaced separately. The cable guide at the back slides out of the camera’s view and keeps the Kevlar-core 1.6 mm cable clear of the boom.
