Rasmus Wedin Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I work with DPAs all The time and don't think I ever had one break at the head for me. Although I know some mixers who aren't that gentle with gear, and I heard about it hapoening . But The Biggest draw back for me with this new mic is it won't fit the concealers (if they don't make a new version of that too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But The Biggest draw back for me with this new mic is it won't fit the concealers (if they don't make a new version of that too). It'd be a GIANT concealer. It would be called the Revealer. Rugged Revealer... That mic just looks insane. It's no lav, it's a larva! I can also say that I've been using DPA lavs for some 6 or maybe even more years, NEVER had one break, except one, but that one had a bad microdot connector. I'd be happy if they made the microdots more rugged, and went for smaller capsules instead. I don't wanna put a huge worm on my talents. "But hey, at least it's rugged..." pffft.

Hahaha, the revealer, nice one Olle . Yeah, I've never had a microdot break, BUT I've had them screw themself up on more than one ocation . Not a big fan of the microdot, the idea sounds better in theory than it is in practice. Love the lavs though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armin Siegwarth Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Head seems not to be bigger than 4071. Cable is. Just another standard 4060 obsolete (cable break at head) - if they didn't sound that nice... Newer standard 4060 have a little cable reinforcement just under the capsule (about 5-7mm long) which do not make them bigger and still fit the standard concealer. Called DPA todays and they assured that a concealer for the heavy duty will come. He suggested to watch some newer stresstest videos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramallo Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I would wish a reemplazable cable, like the AKG CK77 (but better quality than the ck77's cable that is a rubbish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulluysavage Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Like what? There are posts in this thread that say that 4060/4071s are prone to durabilty problems. This is my experience as well, I've had multiple 4060/4071 problems over the past couple of months, breakage/short at the head. I got a slim more recently. Other posts claim that it looks like the slim has a stronger connector at the head. Has anyone found slims to be more durable than 4050/4071s? Same? Less?Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 The problem is if you use the mics with a dpa concealer. The edge of it is too long and goes over the plastic protection next to the head. It is a horrible design and something that I fought with dpa about. The fix for that is reducing the size of the concealer. I never use full size concealer because it distroys microphones. Look at the pictures bellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 A few years ago I had a little heated argument with DPA USA about the size of the concealer and how it wears out and breaks mics. Now days a lot of people presume that dpa mics are not very sturdy and strong. As somebody who have used dpa miniature mics almost exclusively for more then a decade I can attest that the main reason for breaking is a design flaw with the size of the concealer and Mic head plastic tubing. Since I made my concealer smaller I have had zero problems . Look at the picture bellow and pay attention to the 2 concealer sizes - mine and the original one - and you will see the obvious design flaw. If DPA extend the plastic tubing I will be happy to use bigger concelears which a better for attaching to fabric having more adhesive area and not showing the corners on fabric as much.

Constantin Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yes interesting, thanks. That could explain why I almost never have any issues with my DPA‘s, whereas everyone else around me is. I rarely use concealers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the "my" concealers and for the business I am in they are very important. But when I lost my first Mic I found the design flaw and contacted " to be fair" DPA USA " not Denmark". I really tried to argue and change their mind so more people don't get problems with their mics. It did not work. That was before I designed the slim and pushed them in to making it...
