DPA Microphones has announced that it will be showcasing a number of new products at IBC 2022, including its 4466 CORE Omnidirectional, the 4488 CORE Directional Headset Microphones, the 4055 Kick Drum Microphone and the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun microphone.
Based on the design of the company’s groundbreaking 6066 Subminiature Headsets, the new 4466 CORE Omnidirectional and 4488 CORE Directional Headset Microphones feature the brand’s popular 5 mm round microphone capsule and are designed to accommodate all head types. A unique, three-point gripping system (above, below and behind the ear) ensures a greater level of security, while the flexible ear hooks provide continued comfort during extended use.
The headsets also share the same interchangeable cable and boom options as the 6066 Subminiature Headsets. This includes the 90-degree cable management at the neck. The headset frame, boom and capsule have a non-reflective surface for unobtrusiveness and ease-of-use for camera crews. With a high-quality, professional look, the 4466 and 4488 are available in black, brown and beige options, the company said.
The 4055 Kick Drum Microphone is a specialized mic for the low-frequency, high-SPL instrument. The 4055 differs from traditional kick drum mics in that it is not pre-tailored to any specific sound, allowing sound engineers to shape the sound exactly as desired. Able to perform in a variety of genres, the mic is perfect for televised live musical events and talent show-style productions that feature a live band.
