DPA 4080 CORE+ Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (Black)

4080 CORE+ Cardioid Mic, Normal SPL, Black, Mini-Jack

The 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone has excellent speech reproduction, is discreet, fits left and right buttoned shirts and comes with black and white filters.

While our miniature omnidirectional mics are ideal for situations where a broad pickup pattern is essential and off-axis noise is not a problem, in some challenging acoustic environments a directional microphone is the better choice.

Cardioid lavalier mic optimized for chest placement

The 4080 Cardioid Lavalier captures the human voice with an unusually high degree of definition. This mic offers maximum side rejection and excellent sonic focus on the subject. It is designed for broadcast, conference and other live performances both in the studio and in the field.

The mic is acoustically pre-equalized, offering a 4 dB presence boost, which matches the mic's chest placement perfectly. This makes the voice more distinguishable and improves speech intelligibility. Professionals will appreciate that it is lightweight and offers excellent speech reproduction.

This cardioid condenser lavalier microphone is delivered with a pre-mounted black pop filter in a holder with an integrated shock mount, fixed on a clip. An additional white pop filter is also included. Because of the flexible and practical mounting solution, the mic can easily be turned in all directions so it fits both left- and right-buttoned shirts.
