The d:fine CORE 4088 microphone features a cardioid polar pattern that minimizes background noise and focuses on the sound source. This makes it ideal for live performance environments where background noise and feedback might be concerns.
The CORE by DPA technology in the d:fine CORE 4088 microphone provides a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This improves the microphone's performance and sound quality.
The IP58 certification of the d:fine CORE 4088 microphone means it has been tested and proven to be resistant to water and humidity. This is achieved through a water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
Yes, the d:fine CORE 4088 microphone comes with an adapter system that makes it compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more.
