The black DPA 4061 CORE with Unterminated Pigtail Leads 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 delivers crisp, clear, and intelligible audio, while the rugged yet unobtrusive design is well suited to the demands of professional live stage work and presentations.

This version of the 4061 uses DPA's CORE technology to deliver a 4 dB increase in dynamic range and a 14 dB reduction in noise over the 4061 Legacy model. The mic includes two interchangeable capsule-protection grids that alter the sonic character of the microphone. The High-Boost Grid creates a peak at 12 kHz, helpful for chest placement, while the Soft-Boost Grid offers a subtle boost between 8 to 20 kHz, lightly enhancing signal presence to ensure clarity.

With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters. The mic can also be used very effectively to capture instruments—making it a flexible tool for houses of worship and live event productions. The 4061 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features unterminated pigtail leads allowing you to custom wire the mic to the connector of your choice.

A: The Tascam DR-70D 6-Input / 4-Track Multi-Track Field Recorder with Onboard Omni Microphones has a "Auto Power Save" function that may be causing the device to power off as described. To change this setting, take the following menu path: MENU--OTHERS--SYSTEM--AUTO POWER SAVE.

Q: 2. Does the DR 70D allow for external power source. If so, what is needed that it didn't come with please?

A: Yes the Tascam dr-70D does allow for an external power source via the USB port on the left side of the product. I am currently using a Cygnett portable powerbank Cell with 11000mAh. i can record on it for 8 hours plus while it provides Phantom power to one XLR port. I havent been in a situation to run all four XLR ports on Phantom power yet to see how long the powerbank can last. I also still use 4 fully charged AA batteries cause if the powerbank runs out i still will have the batteries to safety my recordings just incase it runs out halfway why recording.

Q: 3. Does the knobs stair step or is it smooth? Unlike the 60d mkii

Q: 7. How many hours of recording time (when using standard Engergizer or Duracell AA batteries) if you were to record all 4 tracks at 24 bit 96 khz?

A: Using alkaline batteries with general usage, built in mics, or non powered mics, the Tascam DR-70D should be able to achieve 5-6 hours operation time. Using phantom power with multiple mics connected can reduce your battery life up to 60%.
