The brown DPA 4061 CORE with Locking 3.5mm Adapter 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 a modular design using a Microdot output connector. This version includes a locking 3.5mm adapter for use with wireless transmitters and recorders wired for Sennheiser compatibility.

• Sennheiser: Works with Sennheiser transmitters equipped with a locking 3.5mm connector, including the Evolution (ew), XSW-D, and SpeechLine (SL) Series.
• The modular design allows you to adapt the 4061'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 4061 from 12 to 48V phantom power for wired applications.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this adequate for live singing in a nightclub environment?

A: I might not typically recommend a lavalier for use in this type of scenario (usually a low-profile earset mic would be preferable), but the Sennheiser ME 4's cardioid pickup pattern means that it will perform better in noisy environments than most omnidirectional lavaliers. If it is a choice between this and an omni lav, I would probably go with this. If an earset like BH #SEUE15535HBE is an option however, I would go with the earset. In noisy environments, the closer you can get the mic to your mouth the less background noise and feedback will be an issue.

Q: 2. Would this work on a Zoom F2?

A: Yes, the Deity W.Lav Pro Lavalier Microphone can be connected to a Zoom F2 Field Recorder using a Microdot to locking 3.5mm TRS adapter wired for compatibility with Sennheiser wireless transmitters (not Sony, as the internal wiring is different) such as the Deity Microphones DA35 Microdot to Locking 3.5mm Adapter - Black (B&H # DEDA3S) or the DPA Microphones DAD6034 Microdot to Locking 3.5mm Sennheiser Adapter (B&H # DPDAD6034).

Q: 3. Will this work with the Deity Theos?

A: Yes, the Deity Theos will accept the Sennheiser ME 4 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (Black) (B&H # SEME4).

Q: 4. What is the Signal to Noise Ratio?

A: The manufacturer has not provided a specification for the signal to noise ratio of the Sennheiser ME 4 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone, but they have provided the equivalent noise level (self noise), which is rated at 31 dB.

Q: 5. Why does Deity's own website state Max SPL is 110dB yet the BH site states SPL is 130dB? Is this a mistake?

A: According to Deity, some microdot connectors allow for higher SPL ratings for the Deity Microphones W.Lav Pro Omni Lavalier Microphone (Black).

Q: 6. will this work with sony UWP D-27 ??

A: Yes, the Deity Microphones W.Lav Pro Omni Lavalier Microphone can be used with a MicroDot to locking 3.5mm adapter, such as the DPA Microphones DAD6019 MicroDot to 1/8" Mini Connector for Sony Freedom WRT-805 (B&H # DPDAD6019), for compatibility with Sony transmitters.

Q: 7. Will this mic work with Sennheiser AVX-ME2 SET?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser ME 4 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (Black) can be used with the Sennheiser AVX-ME2 SET wireless system.

Q: 8. Will this Lav work with the HOLLYLAND LARK MAX?

A: No, because of the locking thread on the connector for the Sennheiser ME4, this can interfere with the connection to the non-locking input, so they may not make a proper connection. You can use a mic like the Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone Cable with 3.5mm TRS Connector (B&H # SASRM1) or the Shure MOTIV MVL Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # SHMVL35MM).

Q: 9. Will this work with the Dji wireless mic system with the microdot to trs adapter?

A: We have not tested the DJI Mic wireless transmitters with the Deity Microphones W.Lav Pro Omni Lavalier Microphone but it should work if used with a Microdot to 3.5mm TRS male cable.

Q: 10. What's the width of this strap?

A: The Viviana Straps Chest Extreme for Lavalier Microphones is 1-3/8" (30 mm) wide.
