DPA Core Microphone Amplifier Technology
DPA Microphones has launched Core by DPA, a new amplifier technology that lives within its
line of miniature lavalier and headset microphones.
Looking to increase the dynamic range or workable area of its d:screet and d:fine lines of mi-
crophones, DPA developed this new amplifier, which offers an increase of up to 14dB and gives
the microphones a clearer and more open sound in the whole level range.
Located in the capsule of its miniature mics, Core is available in the d:screet 4060, d:screet 4061, d:fine 4066, and d:fine 4088 mics. Micro-
phones 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 discreet laser engraving stating “core” has been incorporated at the microphone capsule
as well. The remaining d:screet and d:fine microphones and full range of colour options will be available with Core technology in early 2018.

Radial MIX2:1 Summing Mixer
Radial Engineering is now shipping the MIX2:1 summing mixer, which passively sums two
audio channels down to one. This enables users to easily sum the stereo outputs of a console, record-
ing interface, or portable playback device down to mono, or to mix any two signals together and balance
their relative input levels.
At the inputs of the MIX 2:1, both 1/4-in. TRS and XLR connectors are available, with ground lift switches to eliminate buzz and hum from
ground loops for noise-free operation. Each input can be individually engaged or disengaged, allowing the user to audition either signal
before summing both together. A trim control is also featured on each input, so if connecting two separate mono sources, they can each
be attenuated as needed to match their levels at the output. Both level controls can be completely bypassed, summing inputs one and two
equally and preventing accidental or unwanted level adjustments.
