You’ve never heard a subminiature like this before Tiny but mighty

We’ve taken the amazing CORE by DPA technology and shrunk it down to fit into our 3 mm (.12

in) subminiature mics. Despite their small size, they pack the audio power of our larger, award-win-

ning DPA mics. So now you don’t have to compromise on sound to focus on aesthetics.

Precision engineering and miniscule optimizations of our capsule technology have created a submi-

niature that significantly outperforms all other mics in their class – and beyond.

These subminiatures have a lower noise floor than any other 3 mm capsule on the market and

they are better able to capture high sound pressure levels without distortion as well. In terms of

technical specifications, both the d:screet™ 6061 and the d:fine™ 6066 have a noise floor of only

26 dB(A), which is exactly on par with the 5 mm (.20 in) DPA miniature capsules.

Stainless steel construction makes the mic extremely durable. It can tolerate high temperatures and

• Amazingly tiny 3 mm capsules

• CORE by DPA technology

• Renowned DPA sound

is resilient against impacts and resistant to abrasion. The subminiature mics use the same size cable

(Ø 1.6 mm (.06 in)) and the same rugged cable relief as on our 5 mm mics. The cables are extre-

mely 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.

6066 Subminiature Headset

Comfortable, customizable and secure

The new one-size-fits-all headset is the most advanced construction on the market. It ensures com-

fort, even during long-term wear, but does so without sacrificing security. Its form grips gently and

snuggly around the head and ears and is easily adjustable. The headset can be customized quickly

on site to suit individual performers for perfect fit, every time.

Security Reliability Appearance

This unique new headset meets these needs and more. By merging an amazingly tiny capsule design

with a strong, ergonomical frame shape and specialized, 3-point ear grips, this headset is the most

secure, yet unobtrusive on the market; staying in place even during vigorous performances. Like all

DPA microphones, you can trust this headset to perform day in and day out.

Advanced construction

The entire headset is made of stainless steel and is Physical Vapor

Deposition (PVD) coated, which increases durability.

90° cable management system

A slideable cable guide directs the cable run down the

perfomer’s back. It can be moved to the side, out of view.

The sturdy cable relief allows you to bend and secure the

cable in a gentle way, increasing its life expectancy.

2-way adjustable boom

The boom length can be adjusted and the boom

can be pivoted up and down. An anti-rotate design

prevents unwanted movement and a sliding lock

keeps the boom in the desired position.

Durable protective grid

The mic housing resembles the well-known

DPA logo. The tiny grid holes add to the

mics’ resilience to water and sweat. A foam

windscreen is also included.

Kevlar-core cables

We use the same size cable (Ø 1.6 mm)

as on our 5 mm mics. They are extremely

rugged, do not become tangled and are

equipped with an inner core made of

Kevlar that withstands rough pulls.

The integrated service connector is

covered by a sturdy plastic cap, which

protects it from sweat and make up.

3-point ear grips

Most headsets have either a 1- or 2-point

gripping system – resting on top of the ear and

(sometimes) gripping below the ear. We’ve

added a 3rd point – a support area behind

the ear pressing gently inward. This makes the

headset more secure as well as comfortable.

Non-reflective finish

The mic boom coating is non-reflective, making

the mic unobtrusive even in harsh lighting.

Functional cap construction

The mic cap can easily be removed for cleaning.

A tactile and audible ”click” ensures that the cap

has been secured properly to the mic housing.

6060 Subminiature Lavalier

Almost invisible yet totally unforgettable

d:screet™ 6060 CORE Subminiature Microphones are only three millimeters in size and they

pack the audio power of larger, award-winning DPA mics. Despite their unobtrusive size, they are

exceptionaly clear, consistent and durable – three qualities that truly matter.

The mic housing resembles the well-known DPA logo with the tiny grid holes adding to the mics’

resilience to water and sweat. The mic cap can easily be removed for cleaning. When you put the

cap back on, a tactile and audible ”click” ensures that it has been secured properly.

It’s the only 3 mm mic that gives you the DPA sonic quality that you know and love.

8-way Clip for Subminiature

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 the

mics from women’s to men’s shirts (left- to right-buttoned) or even t-shirts and the like where the

neckline is used.
