DPA 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone, Lavalier – Clarity unquestioned, discretion assured
The DPA 4080 Miniature Cardioid Microphone Lavalier combines optimum speech intelligibility with a
discreet, compact design to create a high-performance lavalier microphone for broadcast, conference,
and other live performance applications.
At just 30 mm (1.2 inches) in length and 15 g (0.5 oz) in weight, the 4080 sets a new standard for
great sound in a sleek design and professionals will appreciate the light weight and the excellent
speech reproduction. Because of the flexible and practical mounting solution, the DPA lavalier micro-
phone can easily be turned in all directions and fits both left and right buttoned shirts.
A broad range of connection adapters is offered as optional accessories for most professional wireless
systems so that news anchors and conference speakers are free to use their hands and move around
without compromising voice quality.
The 4080 is delivered with a pre-mounted pop-filter in a durable holder with an integrated shock
mount, fixed on the DPA clip. All parts of the microphone are manufactured in highly resistant materials
and designed to perform under stress.
The frequency response of the DPA 4080 lavalier is tailored to body-worn applications. Acoustically
pre-equalized with a 4 dB presence boost, the 4080 captures the human voice with an unusually high
degree of definition, even when the acoustic environment is less than favorable.
So if you want to make the headlines while your microphone goes unnoticed, talk to the new DPA 4080.

DPA Miniatures for speech and close-miking instrument applications.Originally designed for use with wireless systems in theater, television, and close-miking instrument applications, the capsule is smaller than a pencil eraser. These miniature mics show exceedingly true omnidirectionality. Because of their size, they have a neutral character and a rounded present sound with a highly natural response. Manufactured to exacting standards, the miniature range is tai-lored to handle heat, humidity, and sweat as well as wind and popping.

DPA Compacts – the choice of musicians for maximum clarity.Specifically designed to satisfy the demands of professionals, the DPA Compact Microphones offer ingenious mounting solutions as well as sonic excellence. Use a carefully matched Compact Stereo Kit for ORTF and XY stereo setups or place individual mics in DPA’s elegant Flamingo series of floor and table stands. Our Compact Cardioids use the same capsule as the extremely popular 4011, but are preamplified using a built-in miniaturized thick-film mounted FET amplifier. The result is incredibly compact, high-performance microphones.
