The DPA 4660 CORE+ is made for situations where you require maximum security and where the visual size of the mic is less important. The Heavy Duty 4660 features a stainless steel housing, a heavy-duty cable relief and a thick 2.2 mm (0.09 in) cable. Our Heavy Duty microphones are a more robust version of the original mics they are based upon.
CORE+ is a revolutionary leap ahead in microphone design, blurring the lines between what is and isn’t acoustically possible.
CORE+ is a technology that neutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone making any residual distortion imperceptible to the naked ear and virtually unmeasurable.
Removing these remnants of distortion allows sound engineers to capture a new level of audio clarity easily and efficiently, so they can shape an extraordinary listening experience for the audience.
CORE+ applications
Microphones with CORE+ deliver crystal clear, distortion-free sound across the entire dynamic range of the microphone. Anyone seeking the highest possible sound quality will appreciate CORE+.
Whether recording or amplifying content, the sound will remain clear and completely undistorted by the microphone, even when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes.
Especially at higher sound pressure levels and with multiple microphones on stage, the elimination of distortion will enhance the overall clarity and transparency of the entire sound image.
For miniature microphones in particular, sound professionals in theaters and film industry are the primary beneficiaries.
Core vs CORE+, what is the difference?
Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels.
Miniature microphones with CORE+ provide unheard levels of openness. While CORE allows mics to handle higher SPLs without significant artifacts up to 1% THD, CORE+ eliminates those artifacts completely.
With CORE+ DPA has shifted the sound pressure level at which they achieve THD 0.5% to be nearly the same as THD 1%.
