DPA 4063-FM

4063-FM description:

The DPA 4063-FM Miniature Microphone, Lo-Sens & DC, Beige. Highly regarded by engineers for speech and acoustic instrument use, very high SPL capability.

The DPA 4063-FM is the beige version of the low DC Miniature Microphone DPA 4063, which is designed to match systems delivering down to 3 V power supply. DPA 4063 is acoustically identical with the DPA 4061, but the FET preamp in the input stage is designed for working with the lower supply voltage. This DPA 4063 is a prepolarised omnidirectional Miniature Condenser Microphone with a 5.4 mm vertical diaphragm specially designed for maximum performance under the often difficult conditions when mounted directly on the human body. Special attention has been taken in the design to deal with the humidity problems that often occur in theatrical applications. By changing the protection grids, the Miniature Microphones can furthermore be acoustically modified according to the placement of the microphone on the body. The noise floor of the DPA 4063 is 26 dB(A) re. 20 µPa and it is able to handle sound pressure levels up to 138 dB SPL peak before clipping occurs. A wide range of connection adapters makes it possible to use the 4063 with close to any professional wireless system available plus 48 V phantom. The DAD3050 and DAD3051 adapters are dedicated low voltage systems.
