For professionals seeking superior audio quality in both spoken word and vocal performance applications, the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector and 120mm Boom in Black is an exceptional choice. This microphone combines the renowned sound quality of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the lightweight and flexible d:fine Headset system, delivering accurate and natural voice intelligibility with high-SPL capabilities.
This microphone is designed to handle both speaking and singing without any distortion, making it a versatile tool for various audio applications. Its excellent off-axis rejection capabilities efficiently suppress distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are potential issues.
The d:fine CORE 4288 is available in both earset and headset variants. The earset variant is quick to put on and is often the preferred choice for conferences and other events where quick setup is essential. The headset variant, on the other hand, offers a more secure fit, making it ideal for active performance situations. Both variants are ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use, and can be adjusted to fit any ear size and head shape.
The microphone's design allows for easy mounting to either the left or right ear. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, enabling quick replacement of broken cables or wireless connectors. The microphone boom is available in two lengths - 120mm and 100mm - to accommodate different applications and head sizes.
The d:fine CORE 4288 features CORE by DPA technology, which offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology delivers an open and clear sound that enhances your audio performance. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
This microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, which is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive from the sides and at the back. This pattern minimizes the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage, making it a popular choice for live performances and spoken-word events.
The d:fine CORE 4288 also features a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more. This system allows you to switch your adapter as needed, protecting your investment in high-quality sound for years to come.
