About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4288 Headset Mic, TA4F Mini-XLR, 100mm, Black

Under the umbrella of professional audio equipment, the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone stands out with its TA4F Mini-XLR Connector and 100mm Boom, all in a sleek black design. This high-performance microphone combines the superior sound quality of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the convenience and flexibility of the d:fine Headset system, making it a top choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

The d:fine 4288 Directional Headset Microphone delivers accurate and natural voice intelligibility, coupled with high-SPL capabilities. This ensures users can speak or sing into the mic without any distortion, even in high-SPL situations. Its excellent off-axis rejection efficiently suppresses distant sound sources, making it a perfect fit for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

This microphone is not only known for its pristine audio quality but also its lightweight and flexible design. It can be easily mounted to the left or right, offering minimal visual impact and resistance to humidity. The flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, providing versatility in various settings.

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

The d:fine 4288 is available as an earset or headset, with both variants designed for comfort and ease of use. The earset is quick to put on, making it ideal for conferences, while the headset provides a secure fit for active performance situations. The microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounting securely while remaining virtually invisible.

The boom and ear hook can be easily rotated, allowing the microphone to be used on either the left or the right ear. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, enabling quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors. Two directional boom lengths are available to accommodate different applications and head sizes.

The d:fine CORE 4288 Directional Earset boasts 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, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The cardioid or directional microphone, named for its "heart-shaped" polar pattern, offers the most sensitivity at the front and is least sensitive from the sides and at the back. This makes it ideal for capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice on a busy stage. The unique DPA capsule technique reduces the sensitivity to off-axis sound, offering perfect sound stages.

The adapter system offers flexibility, allowing you to switch your adapter as circumstances change, without the need for a completely new microphone. The d:fine, d:screet, and d:vote series of miniature microphones are compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
