Improved Headset Mic from DPA!
DPA's 40 series headset mics set a high bar for quality and versatility, with incredible pro-level sound and adjustability that fits practically every live sound application. The company's 44 series builds on this lauded lineage with new features catered directly to the user. The 4466 CORE+ omnidirectional headset microphone provides DPA's Broadway-approved sound and comfortability, improved one-size-fits-all construction, and a wealth of adjustment points for heads of all shapes and sizes. Everything from frame size to boom length and placement is easily flexible, and a built-in 90-degree cable guide keeps things tidy and out of sight. An improvement from the previous models is using a PVD coating instead of traditional paint, providing a better onstage and on-camera appearance with virtually zero reflective issues. Perhaps best of all, the 4466 CORE+ is water and humidity resistant throughout, perfect for continued use on even the hottest stages without the worry of malfunction or irritability for the user. Sweetwater sound engineers consistently recommend DPA's mics, and with its impeccable performance and user-friendly features, the 4466 CORE+ is no exception!

Transparent sound, generous headroom
The 4466 CORE+ offers clean and transparent sound quality with copious headroom. Employing a pre-polarized, first-order pressure gradient transducer hidden in a small, lightweight housing, this headset mic is specially designed for maximum performance and comfort under the often difficult conditions encountered when mounted directly on the human body. Its sensitivity is six mV/Pa to match the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters, saving sound crews time, effort, and money. DPA microphones are renowned for their ability to withstand high sound pressure levels without distortion, and the 4466 CORE+ mic minimizes distortion and keeps your sound artifact-free via the CORE+ architecture. With its impressively wide dynamic range, it can be worn by an actor scripted to whisper in one scene — and scream in the next!
Comfortable and humidity resistant
With the 4466 CORE+, DPA has paid particular attention to humidity issues that often occur in theatrical applications and the headband's lightweight construction. A double-vent protection system, a drop stopper on the tube, and water-resistant materials inside the microphone make it more than difficult for the humidity to cause the microphone to fail. The headband surface is significantly more stable than the 40 series mics, with additional adjustment points to configure the perfect fit. From an aesthetic perspective, the 4466 CORE+'s PVD coating is less reflective than the painted models, making for a much better on-camera appearance. And as is standard in DPA headset mics, the earhooks are encased in a silicon hose for maximum comfort.
