The black DPA 4071 CORE is a miniature, moisture-resistant lavalier microphone designed for use with wireless systems for broadcast, performance, and theatrical applications. The low-sensitivity electret-condenser capsule can handle loud vocalists, speakers, and performers and offers a presence boost to deliver crisp, clear, and intelligible audio. The mic features a rugged yet unobtrusive design that is well suited to the demands of professional live stage work and presentations.

This version of the 4071 uses DPA's CORE technology to deliver a 4 dB increase in dynamic range and a 12 dB reduction in noise over the 4071 Legacy model. The mic features a fixed protective EQ grid with a low-cut filter at 100 Hz and a high-boost of approximately +5 dB in the 4 to 6 kHz range. This EQ curve gives the mic improved clarity for chest-placement, making the 4071 popular for journalists and news crews.

With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters. The 4071 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector.

• Various: Works with various transmitters via a compatible adapter (available separately).
• The modular design allows you to adapt the 4071's Microdot connector to a wide variety of transmitters simply by purchasing the compatible adapter—saving you the expense of buying another microphone.

The DAD6001 Microdot to 3-pin XLR adapter (available separately) allows you to power the 4071 from 12 to 48V phantom power for wired applications.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will that future update allow multiple GO 1's transmitters to connect to the new go2 receiver? Aka could i add in my original one to have 3 Transmit and 1 receiver?

A: No. The Wireless Go II receiver has two channels and will only function with a maximum of two transmitters. Any future firmware updates would not create a third channel for the receiver.

Q: 2. Can I use only one mic with stereo levels?

A: No. You can use 1 mic in dual mono with 1 transmitter.

Q: 3. I realize this question was already asked last year, but is there any auto-shut-off feature if I turn the "always" recording feature on? Wouldn't that like not make any sense? Who in their right mind would trust this to always record if it would just shut off after 15 minutes of not being connected to the receiver?

A: When the Rode Wireless GO II Transmitter is set for "Always" recording mode, the transmitter will start recording audio as soon as it is switched on and it will continue recording until it is switched off, regardless of whether or not it is connected to the Wireless GO II Receiver. This feature makes the Wireless GO II Transmitter suitable for use as a standalone field recorder. Additionally, when used in "Always" record mode, the mute function will not affect the on-board recording but it will mute the ability to transmit audio wirelessly.

Q: 4. Can I use 4 transmitters and one receiver?

A: For this system, you would need one receiver for each 2 transmitters.

Q: 5. Can I get audio out from the USB-C port with a USB-C to 3.5mm cable?

A: The Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder allows for audio output through the receiver's USB C connection, however it requires another USB connection on the receiving end to output audio in this manner. The receiver has a dedicated 3.5mm TRS output for analog audio connections.

Q: 6. Is this compatible with the Sony FX6?

A: Yes, the RODE Wireless GO II is compatible with the Sony FX6.

Q: 7. How long can the transmitter record audio in stand-alone mode and where is the file stored?

A: The transmitter in the Rode Wireless GO II Single 1-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit can record and store over 40 hours of compressed audio and up to seven hours of uncompressed WAV format audio in 48k/24-bit. In Uncompressed recording mode, the Wireless GO II records audio in blocks that are 30 minutes and 44 seconds in length. When the internal storage is full, the unit will continue to record, overwriting the oldest recorded block so you always have the most recent audio available, with no need to delete files or format the storage. For this reason, it is best to back up and offload your audio from the transmitter after each recording session.

Q: 8. How much bias power voltage will the transmitter-recorder provide to the lav mic input? Pro lav mics like the DPA or Countryman will require 3-5v.

A: The voltage of the microphone input on the transmitter within the Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit is not made available by the manufacturer.

Q: 9. Original Go will work with Go2?

A: The original Rode Wireless Go and Wireless Go II systems use different technology and their components do not communicate with each other, so at this time, they can not be combined to use in the same system. This may be a possibility in the future if updates can be created that will enable compatibility between the older and brand new components. While the components can not be combined for use as one system, you can operate the original Wireless Go system (transmitter and receiver) and the Wireless Go II system (two transmitters and dual-channel receiver) at the same time. So if you need to mic three people, you can use both systems independently on the same set.

Q: 10. Can I use my Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector with the RODE Wireless Go II?

A: No. The transmitter included in the RODE Wireless GO II Single 1-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit cannot supply a sufficient amount of voltage to power the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector. The MKE 2 requires 7.5V and the transmitter can only supply 5V.
