DPA’s new d:screet™ Slim mic and button hole accessoryDPA Microphones have released a new 'slim' version of their much-loved miniature microphone, the d:screet 4060 and 4061. The new d:screet Slim mic is designed to keep an even lower profile than the 4060 or 61 and features DPA’s award-winning omnidirectional capsule element in a flat head with a slender cable, giving you the same high-quality sound from an even smaller microphone.
That’s not all though, as the company has also introduced a new Concealer range, a modular solution redesigned with detachable clothing clip and spacer bracket.
The DPA d:screet Slim mounted in button holeThe DPA d:screet Slim lavalier mic has been developed in response to a growing need, especially from the film & TV industries, for a near-invisible bodyworn microphone to suit the tough requirements of sound recordists. Included with the Slim mic is an innovative new button-hole mount accessory. This cap is to be mounted on the mic head and has a small side entry pipe (diameter of 2 mm) making it possible to have the sound enter through a button hole while the mic remains unseen.
“After speaking with our users and colleagues in the industry, we took a closer look at how microphones were being concealed and developed a completely new and unique way we could address this requirement,” explains Mikkel Nymand, product manager for DPA Microphones.
The result was a microphone that should be more easily hidden under clothes, a big necessity for television and film production. The new designleaves a flatter footprint but DPA claim it offers the same high-quality sound for which the company is known.
Priced to match the DPA d:screet range, the d:screet Slim comes in two variations at present: the SCO60-S and SCO61-S, high- and regular-sensitivity versions as with the 4060 and 4061 mics. The d:screet Slim will is available for order immediately through all appointed DPA pro audio dealers, and first shipments will begin in January.
