2061
Omni Miniature Microphone
The 2061 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone is a professional lavalier microphone that meets the needs of sound engineers for an amazingly high quality microphone. Whether used in broadcast studios or ENG, theaters, houses of worship, event venues, or other content creation situations, this mic excels in situations where voice must be amplified or recorded. Amazing speech intelligibility, rugged construction with sweat- and water-resistant features ensure this will be your go-to mic for a long time.
Features
- Best in class speech intelligibility
- Rugged mechanical construction
- Advanced sweat resistance
- IP57 waterproof certification
- Available in multiple colors and fixed connectors
- Quick, secure installation with included clip (black and white variants)
The 2061 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone captures natural and lifelike sound. It is designed to accurately capture the human voice with high fidelity and intelligibility and minimal coloration. In addition to amazing speech intelligibility, the 2061 has a durable mechanical construction with good sweat and water resistance.
In addition, the 2061 offers the same durability, reliability, and repairability that users have come to expect from the DPA brand. This is best exemplified by the 1.5 meter Kevlar-reinforced cable with long and flexible strain relief to withstand physical stress, as well as the microphone's advanced sweat resistance and IP57 certification for exposure to water, dust and makeup.
The IP57 rating is an international standard that tests the degree of protection provided by an enclosure and determines that the ingress of dust will not affect the microphone's functionality, while temporary submersion in water will not have a permanent negative effect on the device. These features allow for easy cleaning and extended life.
Freedom and flexibility of placement
The 2061 has a precise omnidirectional polar pattern, so it does not need to be aimed directly at the sound source to achieve quality pickup. This gives sound designers the freedom to capture the ideal sound regardless of how the microphone is positioned on a subject.
Designed as a versatile microphone for capturing the human voice, the 2061 remains neutral to placement, allowing engineers to shape its response through EQ. Whether you place it on a performer's chest, forehead, or cheek, you can capture the natural voice and easily EQ it to the desired sound.
Borrowing several design elements and principles from other DPA lavaliers, the 2061 features an all-new, simplified 5 mm capsule design that targets superior performance in the 8 Hz - 16 kHz frequency range with 128 dB peak SPL. Like its predecessors, the 2061 offers superior speech intelligibility through the clear, natural DPA sound, as well as a rugged mechanical construction for long-lasting performance.
Linear frequency response
With an omnidirectional pickup pattern, this pre-polarized condenser microphone is designed to accurately capture the human voice with minimal coloration and high levels of fidelity and intelligibility from any direction. The DPA 2061 has a flat frequency response with a gentle 3 dB boost, and is not pre-adjusted to compensate for a specific position where a lavalier is typically placed. This allows a sound engineer to capture authentic sound from any setup.
The connection options
Compared to some of DPA's higher-end solutions, the 2061 has a fixed cap and includes permanent connector options that are compatible with 3-pin LEMO, TA4F and mini jack. These features provide an easier to use solution, especially in a chaotic work environment where a quick and smooth result is required.
