About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4288 Directional Headset Mic, MicroDot, 120mm, Brown

If you're seeking a professional-grade headset microphone that delivers high-quality, clear, and natural vocal reproduction, the d:fine CORE 4288 Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone is your ideal choice. This premium audio device combines the renowned 4088 Directional Capsule with a lightweight, flexible design, ensuring both comfort and superior sound quality for spoken word and vocal performance applications.

Crafted with a 120mm boom, this headset microphone is meticulously designed for optimal placement near the corner of the mouth, reducing "popping" sounds and ensuring a pristine audio capture. The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone excels in off-axis rejection, making it perfect for high-SPL environments where background noise and feedback could otherwise be problematic.

The d:fine CORE 4288 boasts a durable and versatile construction, with a MicroDot connector that allows for quick and easy integration with most professional wireless systems. Its brown color offers a discreet appearance, minimizing visual impact while maintaining a strong presence in sound.

The headset's adaptability is further enhanced by its ability to be mounted on either the left or right ear with ease. The flexible ear hooks and rotating boom provide a secure and comfortable fit for any ear size and head shape, ensuring the microphone remains nearly invisible to the audience.

CORE by DPA technology within this microphone offers a significant 14 dB increase in dynamic range, ensuring that even the subtlest nuances of performance are captured without distortion. The CORE's advanced design also delivers an open and clear sound that goes beyond the specifications on paper.

IP58 certification guarantees that the d:fine CORE 4288 is resistant to humidity and harsh conditions, thanks to its water-repellant nano-coating, hermetically sealed amplifier, and dual gold-plated diaphragm. This resilience makes it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor use.

Understanding the cardioid nature of this microphone is key to appreciating its precision. The "heart-shaped" polar pattern is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive at the sides and back, reducing side and rear sound coloration while maintaining sensitivity to direct sound sources. This directional quality is ideal for live stages and spoken-word events, where isolating the intended sound source from ambient noise is crucial.

The d:fine CORE 4288's adapter system offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to switch between wireless systems without compromising sound quality. This feature ensures that your investment in exceptional audio performance is protected for the long term.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector and 120mm Boom is a high-quality, durable, and professional choice for anyone in need of reliable, versatile, and superior audio capture for live performances, broadcasts, or conferences.
