The black DPA 6061 CORE is a subminiature, moisture-resistant lavalier microphone designed for use with wireless systems for broadcast, performance, and theatrical applications. The low-sensitivity electret-condenser capsule can handle even very loud performers to deliver crisp, clear, and intelligible speech. The mic's 3mm size is easy to hide in clothing or costumes, making it well suited to the demands of professional presentations, theater, and live stage work as well as TV, film, and video productions.

The 6061 shrinks DPA's CORE technology down to a 60% smaller size that still delivers extended dynamic range and extremely low self noise for outstanding sound quality. An included capsule protection grid protects the mic element and supplies a subtle 4 dB soft boost between 8 to 20 kHz, lightly enhancing signal presence to ensure clarity. The cap can be removed for cleaning and attaches to the mic with a firm click that can be felt and heard.

With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling even very loud vocalists, presenters, and speakers. The 6061 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 3-pin LEMO adapter compatible with Lectrosonics SSM, Sennheiser SK, and Wisycom MTP transmitters.

• Lectrosonics: Works with Lectrosonics transmitters equipped with a 3-Pin LEMO connector, including the SSM and the DBu. Also supports the Sennheiser SK Series and Wisycom MTP.
• The modular design allows you to adapt the 6061'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 6061 from 12 or 48V phantom power for wired applications.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this mic work with Shure x2u xlr to usb adapter ?

A: While I dont own a Shure X2U adapter, Ive read through the manual, and I see no reason that the MKE-2-PC Mic with XLR wouldnt work with the X2U. The adapter will supply phantom power, so the mic should work properly.

Q: 2. Will this go into the Deity Theos?

A: No, the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is not compatible for use with the transmitter for the Deity Theos Digital 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System. The mic requires 7.5V of plug-in power and the transmitter can only supply 3 to 5V.

Q: 3. can this be used as a wired lav for a dslr (with a long adapter cable)?

A: Anything is possible, but not recommended in this case. I think most DSLR audio inputs are at line level and not mic level. It's really meant for plugging into a wireless unit (which you would then plug into your DSLR).

Q: 4. 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: 5. I need a quality lavalier for recording training webinars and have read great things about MKE-2. I will feed lavalier into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo which has phantom power and XLR input. Will MKE-2 with XLR (this listing) plug directly into the Focusrite or do I need some kind of power converter btw the MKE-2 and the focusrite? Someone mentioned to me I need a MZA900P in-line preamp or a K6? Can someone clarify? Confused...

A: The MKE 2 P-C will ship with an XLR connection and will connect and work with the Focusrite interface when using phantom power. No additional preamp needed.

Q: 6. Is this mic I can use it with transmitter G4 ,like mke2 gold and any lavalier?

A: No, this version with an XLR connector will not work with a G4 transmitter. You will need the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (BH #SEMKE2EWG).

Q: 7. If I have a zoom recorder, which can output 24 or 48 phantom power, which is better to choose for this mic or it doesn't matter?

A: The Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with XLR Connector & MZ 2 Accessory Set accepts anywhere between 13 and 48 volts of phantom power. To avoid confusion when using the same input for other microphones, it might be simplest to use 48v.

Q: 8. What's the most space efficient wired device to get phantom power to the MKE-2 and connect it to a USB-C on a Mac? I'm only recording wired on a Mac desktop with the MKE-2. Thank you so much.

A: Take a look at this interface by Shure its the Motiv MVI https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1594654-REG/shure_mvi_dig_motiv_mvi_digital_audio.html/overview

Q: 9. I have to of these one has a little blue tag at the bottom just beside the mini jack, the other doesn't have a blue tag is there a difference?The one that doesnt have the blue tag is doing a very disturbing humming, can you tell me something about that?

A: Sennheiser changed the cabling last year. The new blue indicator is now wired RED center, BLUE ring and NO Shield. The shield wire is now wired to the BLUE side in the capsule. Do not wire the shield.

Q: 10. Will these work for the Sennheiser ME2 as well?

A: According to Sennheiser, this will fit the ME2/ME2-II very nicely.
