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 120mm boom. This brown-colored headset microphone is a fusion of the renowned 4088 Directional Capsule and the lightweight, flexible d:fine Headset system, making it a top choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.
This microphone delivers accurate and natural voice intelligibility coupled with high-SPL capabilities. It allows users to speak and sing without any distortion, providing pristine audio quality. 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.
The d:fine CORE 4288 is designed for easy mounting to either the left or right side, offering minimal visual impact. It is resistant to humidity and features a flexible adapter system compatible with most professional wireless systems. The 4088 Directional Capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance, ensuring optimal performance even in high-SPL events.
The microphone's bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, providing a prominent bass roll-off at a greater distance. This feature is crucial for the rejection of background noise and avoiding feedback.
The d:fine CORE 4288 is available in both earset and headset variants. The earset variant is quick to put on, making it ideal for conferences, while the headset variant provides a secure fit, perfect for active performance situations. Both variants are ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use, adjusting to fit any ear size and head shape.
The microphone's connector splits the cable from the boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors. The boom length of 120mm is designed to accommodate different applications and head sizes, ensuring optimal placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".
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, offering water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for enhanced durability.
The 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 ideal for live stage performances, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing bleed from other sounds on a busy stage.
The d:fine, d:screet, and d:vote series of miniature microphones are compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more. The unique adapter system of DPA Microphones protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
