3 mm (0.12 in) subminiature lavalier microphone that gives you the DPA sonic quality you know and love.

The DPA Microphones 6061 CORE Omni Submini Mic for Loud SPLs is just 3 mm (0.12 in) in size but packs the audio power of DPA’s larger, award-winning DPA mics. What it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in clarity, consistency and durability—three qualities that really matter. By shrinking CORE by DPA technology, DPA ensures you don't have to compromise on sound to focus on aesthetics.

Shrinking CORE Into a 3 mm
CORE by DPA is a powerful new technology at the heart of DPA’s miniature microphones. They’ve minimized distortion. From a whisper to a scream, you will experience increased clarity and openness.

Now DPA has taken their CORE technology and shrunk it down to fit into their (0.12 in) subminiature mics. This means that, despite their small size, the performance of the 6061 CORE Subminiature microphone is fully comparable to the 5 mm (0.20 in) miniature capsules that are beloved around the globe. These subminiatures have a lower noise floor than and they are better able to capture high sound pressure levels without distortion as well. In terms of technical specifications, the 6061 has a noise floor of only 26 dB(A), which is on par with the 5 mm (0.20 in) DPA miniature capsules.

Advanced new mic design
This tiny capsule has a cap that can be removed for cleaning and should be firmly reattached to the mic body with a firm click that can both be felt and heard. The supplied cap corresponds in its nature to the low-boost grid of DPA’s 5 mm (0.20 in) versions. Both the mic itself plus the cap are made of stainless steel and treated with a Physical vapor deposition coating that makes it extremely durable: able to tolerate high temperatures, resilient against impacts and resistant to abrasion. The entire subminiature lavalier mic has a pleasant matte look due to the coating making the entire headset look smaller and less obtrusive.

The cable is often the weak spot on these types of mics, but we have opted to use the same size cable (Ø 1.6 mm (.06 in)) and the same rugged cable relief as on our 5 mm (0.20 in) mics. The cables are extremely durable, do not become entangled and are equipped with an inner core made of Kevlar that withstands rough pulls. A strain relief is integrated in the mic housing to strengthen the assembly.

The cable and capsule design ensure immunity to noisy wireless devices.

It’s the only 3 mm (0.12 in) subminiature lavalier microphone that gives you the DPA sonic quality that you know and love.

IP58 certified
The CORE Subminiatures are IP58 certified. This durability is achieved through a number of defense mechanisms:

• Water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing
• Hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic
• Dual gold plating of the diaphragm


8-position lavalier clip
When used as a lavalier, a special rotatable clip is available. The 360° clip allows the lav to be mounted in eight positions, chosen in 45° incremental steps. This makes it very easy to change from women's to men's shirts (left to right buttoned) or even t-shirts and the like where the neckline is used.

About omnidirectional microphones
An omnidirectional microphone has sensitivity at all angles—in principle picking up sound equally from all directions. This gives you extremely natural and realistic sound compared to a cardioid mic.

Omnis are most often used in film recording applications and broadcast environments as they pick up the sound most naturally compared to directional microphones. The omni does not suffer from proximity effect and is not as sensitive to wind, pop or handling noise. Even on a live stage, omnis are often used.
