DPA Microphones will present numerous product advancements at NAB 2025 (Booth #N767). Included is its patent-pending CORE+ by DPA technology that, the company says, sets a new standard 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 various wireless systems. The 2061 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone, designed for any live or recording application, will also be shown. 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."

The company says CORE+ by DPA technology provides unprecedented accuracy and detail in sound reproduction and sonic fidelity, whether recording or amplifying content. It eliminates the non-linearities typically generated by membrane and electronic components to redefine what's possible in sound capture. Therefore, the company says, itneutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone, making any non-linear artifacts imperceptible and unmeasurable.

This new technology is billed as providing a new level of pure, clean audio for an extraordinary sound experience and reducing the hassle of 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, the company says.

MicroLock is billed as the perfect solution for audio professionals seeking versatility and convenience in their equipment. It features a newly designed locking mechanism, which affords users a quick, easy, and secure connection and an extra layer of protection against accidental disconnection during use. Added to its flexibility and enhanced reliability is a significantly longer lifespan due to the 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.

Intended for individuals who work with professional-level capture of the voice, in all of its nuances, the 2061 omnidirectional miniature microphone borrows several design elements and principles from other DPA lavaliers, featuring a simplified 5mm capsule construction that targets superior performance in the 50Hz-16kHz frequency range, with 128dB peak SPL and a flat frequency curve with a soft 3dB boost at 8kHz-16kHz. The mic is not pre-tailored to compensate for any specific position, allowing sound engineers to capture authentic sound from any arrangement.

Other features include the 4.5'-long, Kevlar-reinforced cable, with flexible strain relief for resilience against physical stress, advanced sweat-repelling capabilities, and IP57 certification for exposure to water and dust.
