Since its development, DPA has expanded its miniature microphone into a complete product line, which also includes the 4061, 4062, 4063 and 4071 miniature mics, as well as the 6060 and 6061 subminiature mics. Each solution is tailored to a specific application based on sensitivity, voltage and placement needs. Recently updated to include Core by DPA technology, the miniature microphones feature increased audio clarity and openness, minimized distortion and expanded dynamic range.
