Learn how to mount and adjust 4066/4088 Headset Microphones properly

[@thomasluttermanndjeventtec3003]

Hi @dpa why there aren‘t neck cable clips as Parts of the 4066 like on some other dpa Headset Mics? Do the 4066 hold the position absolutely, when singers/speakers move a lot whitout cable clips?

Can you make videos how to change microdot plug and cable for red lavalier and headset. And what need for this

[@marcushill1124]

I have a ton of noise in the mix with my directional DPA headmic. As soon as I move my head, I instantly get a loud rumble coming directly from the mounting. For such an expensive mic, this is extremely sobering.

Hi Marcus, I'm very sorry to hear you have an issue. In order to determine where the problem is and how we can help, we need a bit more information. Would you be able to send an email to [e-mail] with info on the issue, the model, purchasing date and location and what system you are using it with? Kind regards DPA Microphones

DPA, I think you have the best microphones, I recently purchased the 4066, may I ask what would be the best way to take advantage of such mic if I want to plug it directly to my sony a7 iii, is there any small amp/eq that you would advice to plug it and it goes to the camera, thank you and sorry for the long message, great videos especially the ones done by the gentleman with beard and glasses (sorry I didn't his name) 😊

Hi Aaron. This camera doesn't provide phantom power, and 4066 requires phantom power. But you can get a lot of solutions for that, including wireless systems and external preamps. We don't have any one in particular that we favour over others, though. Oh, and his name is Bo Brinck. :-)

Hello. We have some difficulties with our microphones DPA 4066. Every time we make a records with this microphone there is an extra sound. This sound appears when the boom touches the neck of a person. We never can adjust the mic right for this sound to dissapear. We never have clear sound, although we have already watched many videos of how to use this mic. Is there any chance you can help us with this problem? Or maybe we can send a letter to some place where we can get an answer? We can send samples. Thank you!

need to adjust the boom away from any touch to the face, skin or beard.

How do I know which side is the front of the microphone on the cardioid version? Both looks exactly the same.

[@LightYagamiVSL]

It shows the front at 2:30 in the video

[@cezarynowak5186]

But the entrance is on the both side of the capsule and looks exactly the same.

[@DPAmicrophones]

The mic is fixed in the correct position. As Bo mentions, it has a (very) small bend away from the mouth in order to make it sit perfectly.

How do you adjust the 4088 for a speaker who has big ears? Thanks

[@DPAmicrophones]

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. It should fit all ear sizes and the way to adjust would be the same.
