About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4288 Headset Mic, Mini-Jack, 120mm, Beige

Make your vocal performances and spoken word presentations stand out with the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone. This state-of-the-art microphone integrates the superior sound quality of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the flexibility and lightweight design of the d:fine Headset system.

Designed for high-SPL applications, this microphone delivers clear, natural voice intelligibility without any distortion, even when users speak or sing directly into the mic. Its excellent off-axis rejection capabilities efficiently suppress distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for live performance environments where background noise and feedback are common issues.

The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone is not only lightweight and flexible but also easy to mount on either the left or right side, providing minimal visual impact. It is resistant to humidity and comes with a flexible adapter system that is compatible with most professional wireless systems.

The 4088 Directional Capsule is designed to handle high-SPL events and feedback challenges with ease. Its bass response is optimized for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial in rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback. The microphone capsule is also designed for low distortion and humidity resistance.

The d:fine CORE 4288 is available in both earset and headset variants. The earset variant is quick to put on and is often the preferred choice for conferences and other events where quick and easy miking is required. The headset variant provides a more secure fit around the head, making it ideal for active performance situations.

Both variants are ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily, adjusting to any ear size and head shape. The microphone mounts securely and is hardly visible. The boom and ear hook can be rotated for easy use on either the left or right ear. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick replacement of broken cables or wireless connectors.

The d:fine CORE 4288 Directional Earset offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, delivering an even more open and clear sound. All CORE by DPA technology microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the mic's core, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone features a cardioid or directional pattern, offering the most sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and back. This makes it perfect for live stage performances and spoken-word events, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage.

The adapter system of this microphone offers flexibility and affordability. It works with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as 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.
