The acoustic response of the these mics (both the normal and heavy duty version) can be modified by selecting the correct grid for the job. Two grids are supplied with each microphone (not the 4671). The Soft Boost Grid gives a 3 dB soft boost at 8-20 kHz while the High Boost Grid introduces a 10 dB soft boost around 12 kHz. Both of these grids are made of anodized stainless steel.

ACADEMY-HONORED MINIATURES

In 2021, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors bestowed a Technical Achievement Award to DPA miniature microphones. The award is directed specifically to Jens-Jørn Stokholm and Ole Moesmann for the innovative development of high-performance miniature and subminiature DPA lavalier microphones.

4661 HEAVY DUTY MINIATURE OMNIDIRECTIONAL MICROPHONE, LOUD SPL

The heavy-duty cable relief and a thicker cable works well in live environments, which can sometimes be rough.

This mic is available in two colors: black and beige.
