Introduction 6060 Normal SPL
6060 Subminiature Microphones are just 3 mm (0.12 in) in
size but pack the audio power of our larger, award-winning
DPA mics. What they lack in size, they more than make up for
in clarity, consistency and durability – three qualities that really
matter. By shrinking CORE by DPA technology, we ensure you
don’t have to compromise on sound to focus on aesthetics.
Especially suited for capturing speech in all of its nuances,
the 6060 is particularly useful as a chest-worn lavalier or
for capturing more subtle voices. This mic is well suited for
applications where the sound source is more remote or damped
and you need to have a good balance of signal versus noise.
6061 Loud SPL
One of the best subminiatures for use on very loud sound
sources, such as some human voices. The 6061 works well
for hidden applications and is most often used to capture the
voice when the mic is mounted on the forehead of a theater
performer.

Placement
Forehead placement is optimal.
When mounted here, very
little or no EQ is necessary
and the most natural pick up is
achieved.
When placed on the chest, we
suggest you attenuate at 800
Hz due to the acoustical build frequency. Please note that the chin shadows for the
up at this
higher frequencies, but a boost will help increase the speech
intelligibility.
When placing a mic close
to the sound source (the
mouth) you will obtain the
highest sound pressure levels
(SPL) and thus the best signal
to noise ratio. The SPL at
“the corner of your smile” is
approximately 10 dB higher
compared to a chest position.

placement of microphones, please

Optional accessories
To avoid noise caused by wind, an optional windscreen is available.
This will reduce noise by 15-20 dB depending on the wind speed.
The windscreen is also helpful when the talent uses the
microphone as a lavalier and breathes heavily through the nose.

General maintenance
The grid protects the tiny 3 mm
capsule. The tiny grid holes add to the
mics’ resilience to water and sweat.
The mic cap can easily be removed
for cleaning by pulling it gently. When
you reattach it, you will feel and hear a
“click” when the cap is secured.
Use organic oil (e.g. olive oil) or lukewarm distilled water to remove residue from tape, glue
or makeup on the cable. Do not bend the cable or rub it harshly, it may stress the inner
cores of the cable and cause them to break over time.
The microphone is resistant to high levels of humidity and water. For optimum
performance the microphone capsule should be kept dry. Keep the microphone away from
exposure to cleaning fluids and do not use spray or fluids containing chemicals that could
remove static electricity on or close to the microphone. This could cause permanent
damage.
Rinsing the microphone capsule must be done only with demineralized water.
The microphone must be left to air dry afterwards.
Please refer to our instructions and videos explaining the cleaning process.
