DPA 6066 d:fine CORE Omni Headset Microphone

Microphone headsets offer a level of convenience and mobility beyond even most other lavalier options. The headset is easily covered by hair or hats, and the headset mic can be positioned to hover over or rest against your cheek. The 6066 headset microphone is omnidirectional, picking up sound equally from all directions to provide natural and realistic sound. This specific omnidirectional design is so linear and well-controlled that the feedback risk is very low, but a foam windscreen is included for additional protection. DPA’s CORE technology minimizes distortion for clear and consistent sound from a whisper to a scream. This subminiature headset mic utilizes a 3 mm capsule, so the CORE technology gets even smaller while maintaining the impressive noise floor of only 26 dB(A). For these reasons and features specifically available in the DPA 6066 d:fine, this wireless headset microphone is perfect for broadcasting, speaking in large lecture halls, and is exceedingly popular with actors from Broadway to your local community theater.

Any wireless microphone headset used in a theater needs to withstand a variety of challenges. Humidity is the most common enemy to sound equipment in theaters and other applications where headsets are the go-to choice. To combat that, the 6066 headset microphone features water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the amplifier at the mic’s core, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm. For stability, a 90-degree cable management system guides the cable down the back of performers, making it unobtrusive and minimizing cable breaks. The cable itself is highly durable, using an inner core made of Kevlar to withstand rough pulls and minimize tangling. This wireless headset mic is constructed of a stainless steel headset frame that is treated with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating to make it extremely durable against impact and abrasion, and tolerate high temperatures.

Personal comfort is taken into account in the 6066 wireless microphone headset. Boom length can be adjusted to sit perfectly at the corner of your smile, and can be pivoted at a fixed point below the ear to move closer or further from your cheek. The boom can also be detached at this fixed point so it can be worn on the left or right. Once adjustments have been made, a sliding lock system keeps the boom in the desired placement. The headset fits securely with a 3-point gripping system above, below and behind the ear. Choose between different available colors and connectors to personalize this headset microphone.
