Title: DPA 4061 CORE vs. "pre-CORE" id?
Post by: SMsound on April 29, 2023, 11:15:54 PM
Does anyone know how to identify whether a DPA 4061 is the new CORE model, or pre-2018 d:screet/legacy?

I "thought" I had remembered that CORE have a red sticker. However, it seems like all of the loud SPL have a red sticker regardless of CORE or not. Does anyone know?


EDIT: of course I would find where I saw this 10 seconds after I hit the 'post' button...:

From DPA: "Microphones purchased with the new technology will come in ‘CORE’ packaging and will have a blue label near the serial number on the cable to differentiate between these and the original versions. A very discreet laser engraving stating ‘core’ has been incorporated at the microphone capsule as well."
