Description

The 4060 is a versatile miniature, perfect for use with wireless systems in a wide range of theatre, broadcast and film applications. It is especially suited to capturing nuanced speech but is also a fantastic solution for close-miking instruments.  

This mic exhibits an exceptionally accurate omnidirectional pattern and therefore does not need to be aimed directly at the sound source to achieve quality pickup. The omnidirectional pattern makes it less sensitive to handling noise as well as pop and wind noise. 

The mic handles sound pressure levels up to 134 dB before 10% THD occurs. It exhibits very low self-noise, making it well suited as a lavalier mic mounted in a clip mounted on the chest, where it provides a good balance between signal vs. noise. 

Available in four colors: black, brown, beige and white. 

An even more robust, heavy-duty version is also available:

>> 4660 Heavy Duty Omni Mic, Normal SPL 

Features

Application guide

Placement guide

Sound (in this case voice) varies depending on the placement of the microphone on the body.

Assembly guide 

The microphone comes with the Soft-Boost Grid attached. Pull gently to remove. To reattach (or attach the High-Boost Grid), press the grid into place on the microphone housing. 

To attach an adapter to the MicroDot connector, screw on gently yet firmly until you hear a click. 
 

Cleaning guide 

The cable and protection grid are the only parts that may be cleaned. Do not use any kind of cleaning fluid other than demineralized water. Avoid all kinds of spray or fluids containing chemical components to remove static electricity on or close to the microphone as this could cause damage to the electret layer. When mounting a 4060 Series Miniature Microphone directly on or close to the skin of a performer, care should be taken to avoid sweat from running into the microphone. If the microphone has been exposed to sweat, it must be rinsed out in demineralized water and left to dry out to recover its original specifications. Drying out the microphone between exposures to humidity will also help to extend its lifetime. If the microphone fills up with water it will not be damaged but can possibly turn deaf while the water is captured inside, behind the protection grid. Remove the water by shaking the microphone or drying it with a piece of lint free cloth.

Cleaning the microphone grid 

During use in environments where the microphone is exposed to makeup or dusty materials, the grid may get clogged up. Make sure the grid is dry before re-mounting it on the mic housing. 
 

Cleaning the microphone cable 

Residue from tape, glue or makeup on the cable must be removed after use. Leaving these substances on the cable over longer periods of time may etch into the cable jacket and will make the cable more susceptible to breaks. The cable can easily be cleaned using organic oil (e.g. olive oil) or lukewarm, demineralized water. Do not bend the cable or rub it harshly since this may stress the inner cores of the cable and cause them to break over time.
