We are pleased to announce the release of DPA Microphones’ new 2061 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone. Intended for the audio professional looking for a high-quality, crystal-clear, no-frills microphone. The DPA 2061 lavalier is a premium, easy-to-use solution that is great for any live or recording application. From broadcast studios and ENG applications to theatres, event venues and houses of worship, it is truly versatile.
Borrowing several design elements and principles from other DPA lavaliers, the 2061 features a completely new, simplified 5 mm capsule construction that targets superior performance in the 50Hz – 16kHz frequency range, with 128dB peak SPL.
Like its predecessors, the 2061 has best-in-class speech intelligibility via the clear, natural DPA sound, as well as a robust mechanical construction for long-lasting performance.
With an omnidirectional pickup pattern, this pre-polarized condenser microphone is designed to accurately capture the human voice with minimal colouration and a high level of fidelity and intelligibility, from any direction. The DPA 2061 has a flat frequency curve with a soft 3dB boost at 8kHz-16kHz. This mic is not pre-tailored to compensate for any specific position in which a lavalier is commonly placed, which allows a sound engineer to capture authentic sound from any arrangement.
Additionally, the 2061 features the same durability, reliability and repairability that users have come to expect of the DPA brand. This is best exemplified in the 1.5 meter-long (4.5 ft), Kevlar reinforced cable, with long and flexible strain relief for resilience against physical stress, as well as the microphone’s advanced sweat-repelling capabilities, and IP57* certification for exposure to water, dust and makeup.
Fixed Terminations for Easier-to-Use 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 that requires a quick and smooth result.
Frequency Response & Polar Pattern
Colour Options & Accessories
The 2061 is available in 4 colours, allowing it to blend in with any actor, talking head, outfit or costume. With black and white clip options, the microphone also offers quick, secure mounting, perfect for fast-moving content creation applications.
Compatible with the DPA-SCM0035 Lavalier Microphone Clip which offers integrated cable management and 360-degree mic rotation for the desired angle. Furthermore, it is an easy to open clamp with a non-slip surface that does not slide off attire.
Additionally, the recently launched AIR1 Universal Miniature Fur Windscreen, is an ideal accessory for the 2061 in windy, outdoor applications. The DPA-SCM0030, DPA-SCM0034 clips, and DPA-DUA056 series of foam windscreens are also compatible with the microphone.
New Packaging
As part of DPA’s new environmental initiatives, they have begun to focus on reducing the impact of their packaging and shipping. The 2061 comes in a practical reusable and resealable pouch, whilst simultaneously creating less weight and volume for shipment.
*What is IP57 Certification?
The IP57 rating is an international standard that tests the degrees of protection provided by an enclosure, which determined that the ingress of dust does not interfere with the microphone functionality, while temporary immersion in water produces no permanent, negative effects to the device. These features offer ease of cleaning and a prolonged life.
