Description

The DPA 4080 CORE+ Cardioid Lavalier Microphone (Black, Mini-Jack) – model 4080-DP-D-B34 – is a discreet, broadcast-quality microphone designed to capture speech with precision, clarity, and excellent off-axis rejection. Optimized for spoken-word applications such as presentations, interviews, theater, and live events, this cardioid lavalier focuses tightly on the voice while minimizing surrounding noise which makes it ideal for use in acoustically challenging environments.

Featuring DPA’s advanced CORE+ technology, the 4080 delivers a refined, distortion-free sound across a wide dynamic range, with a 4 dB presence boost that enhances vocal intelligibility when the mic is placed at chest level. The included locking mini-jack connector offers reliable plug-and-play compatibility with a wide range of Sennheiser wireless systems that use a locking 3.5mm input. It also includes a shock-mounted clip for easy left- or right-side shirt placement, as well as both black and white pop filters to reduce plosives and visually match wardrobe needs. Compact, durable, and IP58-certified for dust and moisture resistance, the 4080 CORE+ with Mini-Jack connection is a versatile, professional-grade lavalier solution where speech clarity and directional control are essential.
