Make your live performances and recordings stand out with the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Earset Microphone, a high-quality audio solution that embodies the renowned clarity and range of DPA Microphones. This professional-grade condenser microphone boasts an omnidirectional polar pattern, ensuring that sound is captured with equal sensitivity from all directions, delivering a natural and realistic audio experience.
Crafted with precision, the d:fine CORE 4166 features the legendary d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule, renowned for its transparent sound quality and extensive headroom. The microphone's slim and flexible design allows for quick and effortless adjustments, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal positioning. The interchangeable boom arm, measuring 90mm, provides versatility for different users and use cases, while maintaining a discreet and unobtrusive presence.
The microphone's CORE by DPA technology is at the heart of its performance, significantly reducing distortion across all sound levels. From soft whispers to powerful vocals, the CORE 4166 captures every nuance with increased clarity and openness, boasting a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. The result is an unparalleled audio fidelity that can't be fully appreciated through specifications alone.
Durability is a key feature of the d:fine CORE 4166, with its IP58 certification ensuring resilience against harsh conditions. The microphone benefits from a water-repellent nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold-plated diaphragms, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor use.
The omnidirectional nature of the microphone makes it an excellent tool for capturing ambient sounds and for miking large sound sources, such as choirs, without the proximity effect or sensitivity to wind, pop, or handling noise. While omni mics can be prone to feedback in live situations, the d:fine CORE 4166 is designed to perform exceptionally well when placed close to the sound source.
Flexibility is further enhanced by DPA's ingenious adapter system, which allows the microphone to be compatible with a wide range of wireless systems from industry leaders like Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, and Zaxcom. This system not only extends the microphone's versatility but also protects your investment by enabling easy and cost-effective adapter changes without compromising sound quality.
Whether you're presenting at a conference or engaging in an energetic stage performance, the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Earset Microphone is the professional's choice for reliable, versatile, and high-quality vocal capture.
