Description

The DPA 4080 CORE+ Lavalier Microphone is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.

The DPA 4080 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone is designed for demanding acoustic environments where clarity, focus and control are essential. Unlike omnidirectional lavaliers, the 4080 employs a precise cardioid pickup pattern to deliver maximum side rejection and enhanced isolation of the speaker’s voice. Optimised specifically for chest placement, it captures speech with exceptional definition and intelligibility, making it ideal for broadcast, conferencing, theatre and live performance applications both in studio and on location.

Its discreet, compact design allows it to remain visually unobtrusive, while the flexible mounting system ensures compatibility with both left and right-buttoned shirts. The microphone is acoustically pre-equalised with a subtle 4 dB presence boost, perfectly tailored to compensate for chest mounting and improve vocal articulation.

Incorporating DPA’s groundbreaking CORE+ technology, the 4080 delivers remarkably clean, distortion-free audio across its entire dynamic range. Whether used with quiet speech or higher sound pressure levels, the microphone maintains transparency and accuracy. Lightweight, practical and engineered for professional workflows, the 4080 Cardioid Lavalier is a dependable choice for capturing natural, intelligible speech in challenging environments.

Key Features

• Cardioid Pickup Pattern:
  Provides excellent side rejection and focused voice capture, reducing unwanted ambient noise in challenging acoustic environments.
• CORE+ Technology:
  Effectively eliminates microphone distortion across the full dynamic range, ensuring exceptionally clear and transparent audio at all sound pressure levels.
• Discreet Chest Mounted Design:
  Compact and lightweight construction with acoustic pre-equalisation delivers optimal speech intelligibility when positioned on the chest.

Optimised Speech Capture:

The 4080 Cardioid Lavalier is purpose-built for clear and articulate speech reproduction. Its directional response focuses precisely on the speaker, minimising off-axis noise and room reflections. The carefully tuned 4 dB presence boost enhances vocal clarity, ensuring speech remains intelligible even in acoustically difficult spaces. This makes the microphone especially suitable for broadcast interviews, conference presentations and theatrical dialogue where accuracy and consistency are critical.

Professional Mounting and Flexibility:

Designed with practicality in mind, the microphone features an integrated shock mount and clip system that allows easy adjustment and secure placement. It can be rotated freely to accommodate both left and right buttoned garments, ensuring correct orientation at all times. Supplied with both black and white pop filters, it blends seamlessly into a wide range of wardrobe choices while maintaining excellent plosive control.

Reliable Performance in Live Environments:

With CORE+ technology at its core, the 4080 excels in live and multi-microphone situations where distortion can compromise overall sound quality. By neutralising distortion at the source, it delivers consistent, natural audio even at higher sound pressure levels. Its compatibility with DPA’s modular adapter system allows seamless integration with most professional wireless systems, making it a versatile and reliable solution for demanding productions.
