For professionals seeking superior audio quality, the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone is an exceptional choice. This high-quality microphone, produced by the renowned brand DPA Microphones, is designed with a TA4F mini-XLR connector and a 120mm boom, ensuring optimal sound capture and transmission.
This innovative microphone combines the legendary sound of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the lightweight and flexible d:fine Earset system, making it ideal for both spoken word and vocal performance applications. Its cardioid polar pattern is designed to pick up sound from a specific direction while minimizing sound from the sides and rear, making it perfect for capturing clear, undistorted audio in high-SPL situations.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone offers accurate and natural voice intelligibility, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources. This makes it a reliable choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. Its bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances for superior rejection of background noise.
This stylish and durable microphone is resistant to humidity and features a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems. It can be easily mounted to the left or right, offering minimal visual impact. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone is available in two directional boom lengths to accommodate different applications and head sizes. The 120mm boom is the standard length that fits most people, and it's designed to be placed at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping". The microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounting securely while remaining hardly visible.
All CORE by DPA technology microphones, including the d:fine CORE 4288, are IP58 certified, featuring water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for enhanced durability.
The microphone's cardioid pattern, named for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity, offers perfect sound stages by reducing sensitivity to side and rear sounds. This makes it an ideal choice for live stage performances, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing bleed from other sounds.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone's adapter system offers flexibility, allowing you to switch your adapter as circumstances change without incurring the cost of a new microphone. This microphone is compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and more. With the d:fine CORE 4288 microphone, you're investing in superior sound quality that will serve you for years to come.
