It can handle high sound pressure levels up to 134 dB SPL without any distortion—ensuring that both speech and singing sound clean and natural, even in high-energy situations.

Ultimate Comfort and Flexibility
This headset is designed for maximum comfort and secure fit with its 3-point gripping system—supporting above, below, and behind the ear for a stable, comfortable experience. Unlike other headsets that rely on only 1 or 2 points of contact, the 3-point system provides a snug but gentle grip that keeps the mic securely in place, even during dynamic movements.
The boom arm is fully adjustable for precision placement—allowing you to extend, shorten, or pivot the boom for perfect alignment at the corner of the performer's mouth. An anti-rotating mechanism prevents unwanted movement, and a sliding lock system keeps the boom securely in position. The boom is also detachable, allowing easy switching from the right to the left side of the headset as needed.
Thoughtful Cable Management
The 4466 CORE features a 90° adjustable cable guide that keeps the cable neatly positioned down the back, out of sight and out of the way. The cable guide is fully adjustable to avoid obstructing camera views or interfering with movement. The microphone cable itself is designed for durability, featuring a Kevlar-reinforced inner core and rugged strain relief to withstand rough pulls and frequent handling.
Comprehensive Compatibility
This headset uses the MicroDot connector for broad compatibility with most professional wireless systems. Additionally, DPA offers adapters for popular wireless transmitters from leading manufacturers like Shure and Sennheiser, as well as hardwired terminations to suit specific needs. The design of the capsule, boom, and cable ensures effective immunity from interference caused by wireless devices, making the DPA 4466 a reliable choice for any performance or presentation environment.
Built for Durability
Constructed with a non-reflective PVD-coated stainless steel frame, the DPA 4466 CORE Headset Mic is made to withstand the rigors of frequent use while remaining visually discreet. The PVD coating not only gives the headset a sleek, matte finish but also provides added resistance against scratches, wear, and tear—making it ideal for demanding stage environments.
With the DPA 4466 CORE Omnidirectional Headset Microphone, you get the perfect combination of world-class audio quality, discreet aesthetics, and comfortable wear. Whether on stage, in broadcast, or during presentations, this headset ensures your voice is captured with absolute clarity and precision.
