Hosa Technology, distributor of Da-Cappo Micro Microphones in the Americas, has announced the introduction of the Da-Cappo DA12 hardwired earset microphone.
Ideal for use where the interfacing wireless microphone system remains constant, the new DA12 offers the same performance attributes of the original DA12, but with the added convenience of not having to worry about misplacing the cable and adaptor.
The DA12 is specificed as having -45 dB sensitivity that makes it suitable for use with Lectrosonics, Sennheiser Evolution and SK50 Series, and Shure wireless transmitters, and it features a longer, 6-foot carbon Kevlar cable for easy concealment within costumes. A selection of connectors are designed to mate with the aforementioned wireless transmitter systems.
Like the original DA12, the new DA12 hardwired utilizes a water-resistant, European designed 2.5 mm diameter omni-directional capsule that delivers natural sounding, full 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response.
The DA12 also offers a hypoallergenic cushion designed to insure long wearing-comfort. This cushion conceals a flexible, sprung-steel mechanism that may easily be adjusted to fit ears of all sizes.
It ships with a lavalier style mic clip to secure the cable to one’s collar behind the head and a zippered leatherette microphone case that conveniently and securely stores the microphone, its cable, and the adaptor. A pop filter is also included.
“The new DA12 hardwired delivers the stunning audio performance of the original DA12 while offering simplified use for those who plan on using the microphone with a single brand of wireless transmitter,” said Jonathan Pusey, Hosa Technology’s National Marketing Manager. “By offering a hardwired version, Da-Cappo makes it that much easier to use this type of microphone as it minimizes the possibility of losing parts required for interfacing with different transmitters. For those customers who plan on using a headworn microphone with a single brand of wireless transmitter, the new DA12 Hardwired is a true plug and play solution.”
The new Da-Cappo DA12 hardwired earset microphone is available now, with pricing for all variants (beige and black) of $530 (U.S. MSRP).
