The black 6066 CORE from DPA is a subminiature lightweight omnidirectional headset microphone with an advanced, fully adjustable, stainless steel headset mechanism. The barely noticeable, dual-ear design offers a very comfortable wearing experience for presenters and performers while the tiny 3mm mic capsule provides broadcast-quality sound up to the demanding standards of theater, TV, and live event professionals

The 6066 fits the wearer by using 3-point ear grips with spring mechanisms that grip comfortably above and below the ears and to the side of the head for added security. The 2-way adjustable boom system—length and height—features an anti-rotate mechanism that makes it easy to position the tiny 3mm mic capsule for optimal sound quality. A sliding lock mechanism secures the boom positioning. In addition, the 90° cable management system safeguards the cable from stress and directs it down the wearer's back, where it can't be seen.

DPA's CORE technology is at the heart of the electret-condenser capsule, providing an ultralow noise floor and wide dynamic range, even though this capsule is 60% smaller than comparable DPA models. With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters to deliver clean, transparent, and reliable sound for critical performances and presentations.

The 6066 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless microphone transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector. This version includes a TA4F adapter compatible with Shure transmitters. A foam windscreen, protective cover, makeup cover, and carrying case are also included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. According to Sennheiser, this mic should work with iphone core audio. Which means any recording app that is capable of switching its input should work. No?

A: I use it with Voice Record Pro and it works perfectly. Dennis Murphy

Q: 2. does this have a mute switch?

A: It does not. It is intended to be controlled externally.

Q: 3. Will the mic work with MXW1 body pack for wireless option?

A: No, the Shure MX391 Microflex Cardioid Boundary Microphone is not compatible with the Shure MXW1 Hybrid Bodypack Transmitter.

Q: 4. Will 6 of these work in a meeting hall (25 people U table) without feedback?

A: Feedback is typically caused by sound from speakers bleeding back into a microphone, which creates a feedback loop. The Shure MX391 is an omnidirectional boundary microphone, so it will be particularly susceptible to feedback as there is no axis of rejection. Caution should be used if the microphone is connected to speakers in the same area, and the speakers should be faced away from the microphone to avoid feedback.

Q: 5. does the mic hear vibrations on a floor such as dancers or people walking on a stage ?

A: The Shure MX391 will pick up vibration from the surface it is placed on.

Q: 6. 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: 7. 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: 8. I'm looking for a wireless/blue tooth headset microphone and personal amplifier/speaker. Any suggestions?

A: This is not a bluetooth headset. this is a wired headset to use with a bodypack transmitter.

Q: 9. 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: 10. What type of 3.5mm adapter is recommended to connect this mic to rode wireless go transmitter?

A: The MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic is not compatible directly with the Wireless Go II transmitter, and would need a minimum of 12V phantom power via an external source in order to work. While this is possible, It would be much simpler and overall, cheaper, to just opt for a mic that is powered by the 3-5V Plug-in power supplied by the Wireless Go II transmitter.
