Ergonomically designed, the d:fine CORE 4288 adapts to any ear size and head shape, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. The boom length of 100mm is meticulously chosen to position the microphone at the corner of the mouth, optimizing sound capture while avoiding "popping" sounds.
CORE by DPA technology elevates the performance of the d:fine CORE 4288, offering a 14 dB increase in dynamic range and an even more open and clear sound. The microphone's IP58 certification underscores its durability, with dual gold plating of the diaphragm for added resilience.
