Essential Information About the DPA 6060 CORE Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Normal SPL, Black, MicroLock)
- 3 mm Subminiature Format: easily concealed (suits, wigs, collars, buttons) while maintaining a very natural sound.
- Omnidirectional Capsule: consistent level even when the head turns, ideal for interviews, TV, theater, and corporate use.
- CORE by DPA: more dynamic range and less distortion for a clearer and cleaner voice.
- MicroLock Connector: secure locking to prevent accidental disconnections, with MicroDot compatibility via adapters.
6060 CORE: "d:screet" Discretion in the DPA Range
The DPA 6060 CORE is part of the d:screet family, designed for invisible sound capture where aesthetics matter as much as intelligibility. Its approach is simple: to bring the DPA sound signature into an even more compact microphone, designed to be forgotten on camera while remaining reliable in the field. The Normal SPL version is optimized for voice and common uses on set, stage, and recording, offering an excellent balance between maximum input level and self-noise.
Who and What For: Voice, Dialogue, and Demanding Recordings
This omnidirectional lavalier microphone is aimed at sound engineers, boom operators, stage managers, content creators, and theater technicians who need a very small microphone that is quick to place and consistent from person to person. Whether on set or live, the omnidirectional pattern helps maintain a stable voice despite movement, while facilitating placement under clothing (with easier handling of axis variations compared to a directional microphone).
Its black finish is particularly suited to dark outfits, sets, stages, and contexts where the microphone must remain discreet without visible camouflage accessories.
CORE and MicroLock: Details That Make a Difference in the Field
An Omnidirectional Capsule Designed to Stay Natural
The 6060 CORE prioritizes a clear and credible reproduction of timbres, with a response tailored for both spoken and sung voice, and appreciable coherence when multiple DPA microphones are used on the same set. The omnidirectional directivity (pressure principle) limits off-axis effects and helps maintain a stable tonal color, which facilitates mixing and equalization in post-production.
CORE Technology: More Headroom Before Distortion
The CORE technology aims to reduce distortion and expand useful dynamic range to achieve a cleaner signal when the voice gets louder, when the transmitter is pushed, or when the microphone is concealed in challenging conditions (rubbing, very close placement, fluctuating levels). The result: a more usable recording, with less unwanted harshness on transients and a better sense of definition.
Durability and Moisture Resistance (IP58)
Designed for intensive professional use, the 6060 CORE features a reliability-focused construction with protection against dust and moisture (IP58 rating). This is a significant advantage in live performance, outdoor use, reporting, or simply during long days where sweat and temperature variations can challenge lavaliers.
MicroLock: Safer, More Confident Connection
The MicroLock connector maintains a compact format while adding a locking mechanism that secures the connection and protects against accidental unplugging. It fits within an equipment ecosystem: via adapters, you can connect the microphone to many transmitters and configurations, and switch systems without changing the capsule. The MicroLock is an asymmetric coaxial connector designed for miniature microphones.

Questions frequently asked
Is the DPA 6060-OC-U-B90 suitable for singing and spoken voice?
Its Normal SPL version is designed for spoken and sung voice, with a maximum level of 134 dB SPL peak at 10% distortion. Distortion remains below 1% up to 126 dB SPL peak. The useful frequency response covers 40 Hz to 20 kHz, with a soft 4 dB boost between 8 and 20 kHz.
What is the compatibility of the MicroLock connector with wireless transmitters?
The MicroLock connector is backward compatible with MicroDot via adapters, while locking is active only when both elements have the MicroLock format.
Is this lavalier microphone discreet under clothing?
The microphone head measures 3.4 x 14.4 mm and the capsule has a diameter of 3 mm. Its black finish facilitates integration on dark outfits. The 1.8 m cable weighs only 8 g including its connector.
Is the 6060 CORE resistant to sweat and moisture?
Thanks to its IP58 rating, this model is protected against dust and moisture. It operates within a temperature range from -40 °C to 45 °C, with relative humidity up to 90%.
What is the polar pattern of the DPA 6060 CORE microphone?
The electret omnidirectional capsule operates on a pressure principle, providing stable sound pickup despite source movement.
