This high-quality microphone integrates the acclaimed 4088 Directional Capsule, renowned for its pristine sound capture, with the innovative d:fine Earset system, designed for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

Crafted for the discerning audio professional, the d:fine CORE 4288 boasts a robust and durable design, ensuring reliable operation in demanding live performance environments. Its directional cardioid polar pattern excels in isolating the speaker's voice, offering superior off-axis rejection and effectively minimizing background noise and feedback. This makes it an ideal solution for environments where sound clarity is paramount.

The microphone's high-SPL capabilities allow for both speaking and singing without any distortion, delivering accurate and natural voice intelligibility. The tailored bass response ensures optimal linearity when the microphone is positioned 2-3 cm (1") from the sound source, which is critical for reducing unwanted noise and combating feedback.

The minimal visual impact of the microphone allows for unobtrusive integration into any performance or presentation setting. Additionally, the microphone is resistant to humidity, featuring a water-repellant nano-coating and hermetic sealing of the amplifier, ensuring consistent performance in various conditions.

The earset's flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, providing users with the freedom to connect to a wide range of devices. The TA4F Mini-XLR connector ensures a secure and stable connection, while the option to quickly swap cables or wireless connectors adds to the microphone's convenience and longevity.

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.
