The d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone with MicroDot Connector and 120mm Boom in a subtle brown color is a high-quality, professional-grade audio device from the renowned brand, DPA Microphones. This versatile and reliable microphone is designed for both spoken word and vocal performance applications, offering superior sound quality, flexibility, and durability.
Engineered with the legendary 4088 Directional Capsule, this microphone delivers accurate and natural voice intelligibility with high-SPL capabilities. It ensures distortion-free performance, even when users speak or sing directly into the mic. Its excellent off-axis rejection feature suppresses distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.
The d:fine 4288 microphone is resistant to humidity and comes with a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems. Its bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial for the rejection of background noise and the avoidance of feedback. The microphone capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance.
Available as an earset or headset, the d:fine 4288 microphone is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. It adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounts securely, and is hardly visible. The microphone can be easily used on either the left or the right ear by rotating the boom and the ear hook. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone is equipped with CORE by DPA technology, which offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology delivers an even more open and clear sound. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, named for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and at the back. This directional pattern minimizes the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage, making it perfect for live stage performances and spoken-word events. The unique DPA capsule technique reduces the sensitivity to sounds from the sides or the rear of the mic, offering perfect sound stages.
The d:fine CORE 4288 microphone's adapter system 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 is unique in the industry, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
