The black DPA 4080 CORE is a miniature cardioid lavalier microphone designed for use with wireless systems for live events, journalism, and broadcast applications. The electret-condenser capsule delivers crisp, clear, and intelligible speech, while the rugged yet unobtrusive design is well suited to the demands of professional live stage work and presentations.

While small and visually unobtrusive, the 4080 uses DPA's CORE technology to deliver increased dynamic range and low self-noise for outstanding speech reproduction. Engineered for chest placement, the mic is pre-EQ'd with a 4 dB presence boost in the 4 to 6 kHz range to ensure clarity.

The cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the talent, picking up less audio from the sides and helping to reduce unwanted background sounds. This pattern works best for forward-facing talent speaking in the direction of the mic, including broadcast personalities and presenters; it also helps to reduce feedback issues when monitors and PA systems are employed for sound reinforcement.

With an SPL rating of 134 dB, the 4080 is more than capable of handling most standard speakers and presenters. The microphone is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter. This version of the mic features a 3-pin LEMO connector compatible with Lectrosonics SSM, Sennheiser SK, and Wisycom MTP transmitters.

Every so often however, I find myself needing to record a musical performances or needing a audience mic (ENG style, not for critical listening) where having a stero mic would help. How well does this mic work in mono mode? Does it work/sound as good as the 416 when just utilizing the center element? I have a 552 field mixer, so dual phantom power isn't an issue. I guess I would need to find a boom cabled for 5 pin XLR, any suggestions?

A: Yes, this mic will sould as good as the 416 when in mono mode. The specifications are nearly identical, and the tonal quality will be the same. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/308955-REG/Remote_Audio_CAXSTE25_5_Pin_Stereo_XLR_Female.html
