DPA’s new 6000 Series ‘subminiature’ microphones are something of an engineering marvel. Not only have the Danish mic makers shrunk down their headset and lavalier mics by 60%, they’ve also managed to imbue them with the same self-noise rating as their (slightly) larger cousins, the 4000 Series. The result is a vanishingly small mic — only 3mm in diameter — that has an impressive dynamic range thanks to the miniaturised Core preamp technology, which was launched last year.
There are two main flavours of the subminiatures: the headset and lavalier types. And DPA have really gone to town with the headset engineering making it more robust, secure and discreet.
