DPA KIT-4060-OP-SMK 4060 CORE+ Stereo Microphone Kit

Product overview

The DPA KIT-4060-OP-SMK is the 4060 CORE+ Stereo Microphone Kit: a flexible stereo recording solution for project studios and for discreet microphone setups on stage, with a complete stereo pair of 4060 CORE+ miniatures, Normal SPL.

It contains two handpicked omnidirectional condenser microphones, selected on sensitivity within ±1.5 dB, combined with a variety of mounting accessories.

The kit's mounting accessories include the BLM6000 Boundary Layer Mount, which places the microphones on a reflective boundary such as a floor, wall, ceiling or piano lid to capture the ambient sound of the area. Sound captured from this pressure zone has higher sensitivity, clarity and intelligibility than sound captured in free air, so the solution works as a kind of acoustical zoom.

Another accessory in the kit is the DMM0007 Universal Surface Mount, which allows all kinds of instruments, from acoustic guitar through grand piano and drums, to be miked in the best-sounding position. It attaches with special non-marking adhesive discs.

CORE+ takes the miniature microphone to the next level, neutralising distortion across the entire dynamic range, and MicroLock is a dependable, secure locking connector with limitless flexibility and reassuring reliability.
