DPA expands Lavalier range with 2061 Miniature Omni Mic

DPA Microphones is debuting its new 2061 miniature omnidirectional microphone, aimed at users working with professional-level voice sound capture.

The new 2061 mic features a new, simplified 5mm capsule construction that targets superior performance in the 50 Hz – 16 kHz frequency range, with 128dB peak SPL.

With an omnidirectional pickup pattern, the pre-polarized condenser mic is designed to accurately capture the human voice from any direction, with minimal colouration and a high level of fidelity and intelligibility. The DPA 2061 has a flat frequency curve, with a soft 3dB boost at 8 kHz – 16 kHz. The mic is not pre-tailored, which allows it to compensate for any common lavalier positioning.

The new 2061 is also designed to offer durability, featuring a 1.5m (4.5ft) long kevlar-reinforced cable, as well as advanced sweat-repelling capabilities and IP57 certification for exposure to water, dust and makeup. In contrast to some of DPA’s higher-end solutions, the 2061 has a fixed cap and includes permanent connector options that are compatible with 3-pin LEMO, TA4F and Mini-Jack. These aim to maximise ease of use in what can be a fast-paced work environment.

The 2061 is available in black, white, beige and brown, with black and white clip options. As part of DPA’s environmental initiatives, focusing on reducing the impact of packaging and shipping, a reusable, resealable pouch is provided for the microphone. The 2061 comes with a two-year limited warranty.
