DPA d:screet 6061, d:screet 6060 Data Sheet

6060/61 Subminiature Lavalier

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.
