Overview

Cardioid lavalier mic optimized for chest placement.

The DPA Microphones 4080 Cardioid Lavalier Mic captures the human voice with an unusually high degree of definition. This lavalier mic offers maximum side rejection and excellent sonic focus on the subject. It’s designed for broadcast, conference and other live performances, both in the studio and in the field.

It’s acoustically pre-equalized, offering a 4 dB presence boost, which perfectly matches the mic’s chest placement. This makes the voice more distinguishable and improves speech intelligibility. Professionals will appreciate that it’s lightweight and offers excellent speech reproduction.

The DPA Microphones 4080 cardioid condenser lavalier microphone is delivered with a pre-mounted black pop filter in a holder with an integrated shock mount, fixed on a clip. An additional white pop filter is also included. Because of the flexible and practical mounting solution, the mic can easily be turned in all directions, so it fits both left- and right-buttoned shirts.
