DPA Microphones will present a wide array of product advancements at NAB 2025 (Booth N767). Included among these is its CORE+ by DPA technology, a patent-pending innovation for distortion-free microphone sound. The company will also showcase MicroLock, a microphone connector with a newly developed locking mechanism and compact design compatible with a variety of wireless systems. DPA’s new 2061 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone, designed as a quality, easy-to-use solution for any live or recording application, will also be available at the show. Finally, the company will also present solutions from its recently acquired brand, Austrian Audio, which will be exhibiting at NAB for the first time.
“DPA has been leading the charge with a wide array of new technologies since last year, and we are excited to showcase these solutions to NAB 2025 attendees,” says Christopher Spahr, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, DPA Microphones. “CORE+ blurs the lines of what is acoustically possible in microphone design, while innovation and advancements in materials and miniaturization have enabled the team to develop MicroLock. The 2061 offers simplicity and reliability, without compromising on DPA’s standard of excellence.”
CORE+ is designed for accuracy and detail in sound reproduction and sonic fidelity, whether recording or amplifying content. “Using an advanced approach that ensures a clear and precise audio experience, CORE+ eliminates the non-linearities typically generated by the membrane and electronic components of a microphone to redefine what’s possible in sound capture. CORE+ neutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone, making any non-linear artifacts imperceptible and unmeasurable,” according to the announcement.
This new technology is also designed to reduce the unpredictable challenges of sound environments. This includes when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes or in productions with multiple inputs. Microphones with CORE+ eliminate artifacts while enhancing the transparency of the entire sound image to provide audio professionals more freedom to create their desired soundscape.
MicroLock microphone connector is designed for flexibility, reliability and durability. MicroLock features a newly designed locking mechanism designed for a quick, easy and secure connection with an extra layer of protection against accidental disconnection during use. It also provides a longer lifespan due to upgraded materials and redesigned construction. The
connector has a more robust, solid metal body, while the improved electrical design offers enhanced stability and reliability of the signal.
The professional-level 2061 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone borrows several design elements and principles from other DPA lavaliers and features a new, simplified 5 mm capsule construction that targets performance in the 50 Hz – 16 kHz frequency range, with 128 dB peak SPL and a flat frequency curve with a soft 3 dB boost at 8 kHz – 16 kHz. The mic is not pre-tailored to compensate for any specific position in which a lavalier is commonly placed, which allows sound engineers to capture authentic sound from any arrangement.
Like its predecessors, the 2061 mechanical construction is exemplified in the 4.5 ft-long (1.5 meter), Kevlar reinforced cable, with flexible strain relief for resilience against physical stress, as well as the microphone’s advanced sweat-repelling capabilities and IP57 certification for exposure to water and dust.
