Full Description

Powerful CORE microphone technology

A testament to the high-quality nature of every DPA product, the CORE 4266 is a must-have for any live sound or theatre application. Thanks to its expanded dynamic range, it'll be able to withstand the most dynamic of performances without incurring any distortion. This ensures a significantly clearer, open sound that will leave any audience hanging on your every. Last. Word.

Why choose omni?

Omnidirectional microphones are the perfect choice when you want your recordings to sound wholly natural. Capturing sound from every angle, they provide you with an accurate depiction of the environment you're recording in. There's good reason why this pattern is a go-to choice for many classical recording engineers. When omnidirectional mics are used close to the desired sound source, they retain a beautifully transparent and balanced response and do not suffer from the proximity effect. Each and every voice will sound rich, detailed and intimate, no matter what the environment is when you're using the CORE 4266

Ergonomic headset design

The headset design of the microphone has been carefully crafted to offer secure mounting and positioning on your head. This dual-ear variant is perfectly suited to active performance situations, and boasts excellent comfort with an easy-to-fit architecture. The microphone can be adjusted to accommodate any ear size and head shape whilst maintaining an unobtrusive and low-visibility format.
