Title: DPA 4063 versus 4061?
Post by: udovdh on December 03, 2005, 06:53:02 AM

Hello,

Would it make sense to go for the DPA 4063 instead of the 4061 because the 4063 is optimised for a lower starting voltage?
(this combined with a Microtrack which delivers just below 5V, maybe 4.5V, maybe lower when the battery goes down)

Anybody got news about a cardioid 406x?

Thanks!

It hasnt been released yet. They have released full body versions of the 4060/4061 though, and rumours are that the mini card is near..

If you can find a number I'd contact DPA, last time I spoke with someone there they were very helpful.  I think I got a number from Sonic Sense, it was for someone that deals with tech support.

The DAD6001 is the micro-dot > 3-pin xlr adaptor (Min. 5 V - max 5 V through DPA adapter) so it's a close call.
