The DPA 4080 CORE+ Cardioid Lavalier Microphone (Black, TA4F Mini-XLR) – model 4080-DP-D-B10 – is a premium miniature mic engineered for professional speech applications where clarity, directionality, and discreet appearance are critical. Designed specifically for spoken-word performance, interviews, presentations, and broadcast use, it features a cardioid pickup pattern that isolates the speaker’s voice while minimizing ambient noise, feedback, and unwanted sounds from surrounding sources.
Powered by DPA’s advanced CORE+ technology, the 4080 delivers an extended dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion, maintaining crystal-clear vocal quality even at elevated sound pressure levels up to 134 dB peak. The microphone comes pre-equalized with a subtle 4 dB presence boost, enhancing speech intelligibility when placed on the chest. The included TA4F Mini-XLR connector ensures seamless integration with Shure wireless systems and other compatible bodypack transmitters. It also includes a discreet shock-mounted clip for left or right shirt placement, along with both black and white pop filters to reduce plosives and visually blend with different attire. With rugged construction, IP58-rated resistance to dust and moisture, and a compact design, the 4080 CORE+ is a reliable, high-fidelity lavalier microphone built to perform in demanding professional environments.
