Why is my cardioid lavalier (4080) so much bigger than my omni (4060)?
The DPA 4080 benefits from the use of a directional interference tube, making the directionality more sharp than usual for such a small diaphragm. Like any other pressure gradient microphone, the 4080 suffers from handling-, pop- and breath-noise, but the 4080 is efficiently protected against these unwanted sounds with the rubber shock mount and foam pop-filter.
