DPA 6066 CORE Omni Headset Mic Beige, MicroLock

The beige 6066 CORE from DPA is a subminiature, lightweight omnidirectional headset microphone with an advanced, fully adjustable, stainless steel headset mechanism. The barely noticeable, dual-ear design offers a very comfortable wearing experience for presenters and performers while the tiny 3mm mic capsule provides broadcast-quality sound up to the demanding standards of theater, TV, and live-event professionals.

The 6066 fits the wearer by using 3-point ear grips with spring mechanisms that grip comfortably above and below the ears and to the side of the head for added security. The 2-way adjustable boom system—length and height—features an anti-rotate mechanism that makes it easy to position the diminutive mic capsule for optimal sound quality. A sliding lock mechanism secures the boom positioning. In addition, the 90° cable management system safeguards the cable from stress and directs it down the wearer’s back, where it can’t be seen.

DPA’s CORE technology is at the heart of the electret-condenser capsule, providing an ultralow noise floor and wide dynamic range, even though this capsule is 60% smaller than comparable DPA models. The 6066 is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless microphone transmitter and features a modular design using a MicroLock output connector with adapters for wireless bodypack available separately.
