DPA MMB4066-B Miniature Microphone Boom – Black

The DPA MMB4066-B Miniature Microphone Boom, Black. Highly regarded by engineers, a boom and mic only option for those who do not require a headband.

The DPA MMB4066-B is a Miniature Microphone Boom and Omnidirectional Capsule, for use with the DPA AHM6001 Adjustable Headband. The 4066 offers a clean and transparent sound quality with lots of headroom. Attention has been paid to the humidity problems that often occur in theatrical applications. A double vent protection system, a drop stopper on the microphone boom, together with water resistant materials inside the microphone, makes it more than difficult for the humidity to cause the microphone to fail. The sensitivity is 6 mV/Pa to match the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. If powered correctly the microphone will be able to handle sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL before clipping occurs. A wide range of connection adapters makes it possible to use the 4066 with most of the professional wireless systems available plus 48 V phantom XLR connection. The DPA 4066 is delivered with 5 foam windscreens.
