You can experience superior audio quality with the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone. This professional-grade microphone, designed by renowned audio industry leader DPA Microphones, is perfect for both spoken word and vocal performances.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone integrates the legendary 4088 Directional Capsule with the lightweight and flexible d:fine Earset system. This combination ensures accurate and natural voice intelligibility, even in high-SPL situations. The microphone's cardioid polar pattern minimizes background noise and focuses on the sound source, making it an excellent choice for live performance environments where noise and feedback are concerns.
This high-quality microphone is not only durable and reliable but also versatile. It features a TA4F Mini-XLR Connector and a 120mm boom, allowing easy connection to various sound systems or recording equipment. The microphone is also resistant to humidity, ensuring long-lasting performance in various conditions.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone is designed for comfort and ease of use. It can be easily mounted to the left or right ear and adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape. The microphone is hardly visible when worn, providing minimal visual impact. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, enabling quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors.
The microphone's bass response is optimized for linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial for rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback. The microphone capsule is also designed for low distortion and humidity resistance.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone is available in a brown cocoa color, blending seamlessly with various skin tones. It comes in two directional boom lengths to accommodate different applications and head sizes. The standard 120mm boom length fits most people and is ideal for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone is equipped with CORE by DPA technology, offering a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology delivers an open and clear sound that goes beyond what can be seen in the specifications. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, featuring water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for enhanced durability.
The microphone's cardioid polar pattern, named for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity angle, is perfect for capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice on a busy stage. The unique DPA capsule technique reduces sensitivity to off-axis sounds, offering perfect sound stages without colorizing the sound.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone's adapter system provides flexibility, allowing you to switch adapters instead of purchasing a new microphone when changing wireless systems. This microphone is compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and more. This ingenious adapter system from DPA Microphones protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
