DPA 4166-OC-F-F10-MH Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector, Beige

The DPA 4166-OC-F-F10-MH is a member of DPA Microphones' 4166 family of Flex Headset mics. Leading the market when it comes to head-worn microphones, this line of headset microphones combines absolute pristine audio quality with unique and simple mechanical solutions alongside an extensive accessory selection. This particular microphone model has an omnidirectional polar pattern and a 90mm boom, comes in beige with foam windscreen, a set of ID rings and cover, a clothing clip, plus a MicroDot adapter for Shure wireless systems.

Ergonomically designed to fit easily and seamlessly, the 4166 will adjust to fit any ear size and head shape while hardly visible and securely mounted on both ears. The dual-ear mount is designed for more active situations and will be safe in even the most rigorous and energetic of performances. The microphone can be moved from the left to the right ear, or into the optimum position just by rotating the boom and earhooks.

The omnidirectional pattern is sensitive to sound from all directions which makes the positioning of the headset less critical enabling placement by untrained personnel; truly a plug-and-play solution for any situation. Staying true to the DPA legacy, the 4166 offers accurate, natural voice intelligibility along with very high SPL handling capabilities – one can both speak and sing into it with no hint of distortion.

While the omnidirectional pickup pattern is generally not sensitive to wind, breathing, or handling noise, intensive protection against pop/wind noise is integrated into the microphone design and windscreens are included. Also included is a cable clip that anchors the cable to your clothing, and color-coded ID rings and cover to help provide easy recognition of a specific headset among many.

A service connector splits the cable from the microphone boom and allows for a quick exchange of cable lengths/colors/connectors; valuable for servicing if a cable is damaged.

The DPA 4166-OC-F-F10-MH is delivered in a neat, professional roadworthy box with room for accessories like transmitters, batteries, and more.

From pianissimo to forte, you'll experience clear open sound, with minimized distortion and increased dynamic range. the 4166-OC-F-F10-MH captures everything from the ‘highest of the highs to the ‘lowest of the lows,’ further distancing these mics from their competitors.
