OVERVIEW
The loud SPL and low DC, black d:screet Core 4063 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone with Hardwired MicroDot Connector from DPA is designed for use with wireless systems giving only 3V bias voltage and used in performance and theatrical presentations. The Core 4063 miniature microphone amplifier delivers a 12 dB increase in dynamic range and a 12 dB reduction in THD (total harmonic distortion) over the previous 4063 Legacy model. Because of its small size, the microphone is highly unobtrusive and is suitable for broadcast, live stage, and instrument applications as well.
The d:screet Core 4063 includes interchangeable capsule protection grids that alter the signal character of the microphone. A high-boost grid creates a peak at 12 kHz, bringing an airy texture to audio signals. The soft-boost grid creates a subtle boost between 8 to 20 kHz, enhancing signal presence.
With an SPL rating of 138 dB, the microphone is more than capable of reproducing transient (peaking) audio before clipping. The Core 4063 can be powered via +48V phantom power and features a microdot output connector, compatible with various wireless microphone transmitters, adapters, or power supplies with standard XLR outputs.
