Know before you buy
CORE+ technology is designed to minimize distortion and expand the dynamic range of the microphone. It ensures that the audio remains clean and detailed, even when the sound source fluctuates in volume.
Because it is omnidirectional, the microphone captures sound from all directions, which can pick up ambient noise. It is best suited for controlled environments or situations where you want to capture a natural, open sound rather than isolating a single source.
The 4060 is extremely small and lightweight, making it one of the easiest lavaliers to conceal. You can use standard mounting accessories like tape or clips to secure it behind fabric without it being visible or bulky.
This model features a MicroLock connector. You will need to ensure that your wireless transmitter system is compatible with this specific connection type or use an appropriate adapter.
Yes, its natural frequency response and high-quality capsule make it excellent for capturing instruments like acoustic guitars or violins. Its small size allows for discreet placement on the instrument body.
