What sets the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone apart is its exceptional combination of professional-grade audio quality, user comfort, and versatile design. Crafted by the renowned DPA Microphones, this beige headset microphone integrates the acclaimed 4088 Directional Capsule, ensuring pristine voice clarity and high-SPL handling for both speaking and singing applications without any distortion.
The d:fine CORE 4288 is engineered for reliability and durability, making it a top choice for presenters and performers who demand consistent, high-quality audio. Its cardioid polar pattern excels in off-axis rejection, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources and significantly reducing background noise and feedback, even in the most challenging live performance environments.
The microphone's design prioritizes user comfort and minimal visual impact. It can be easily mounted on either the left or right ear, thanks to its flexible two-ear headset system and 100mm boom length, which is meticulously positioned to capture sound at the corner of the mouth, avoiding "popping" noises. The headset is ergonomically designed to fit any ear size and head shape, ensuring secure placement and near invisibility during use.
The CORE by DPA technology within the d:fine CORE 4288 enhances the microphone's performance, offering a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. The CORE's open and clear sound is complemented by the microphone's IP58 certification, which guarantees durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The adaptable nature of the d:fine CORE 4288 is further emphasized by its flexible adapter system, which is compatible with most professional wireless systems. This feature allows for quick and easy cable or connector replacements, safeguarding your investment and ensuring the microphone adapts to various wireless setups.
In summary, the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector is an impeccable choice for professionals seeking a reliable, durable, high-quality, and comfortable audio solution. Its directional cardioid pattern, resistance to humidity, and compatibility with a wide range of wireless systems make it an indispensable tool for presentations, speeches, and live performances.
