It's the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Earset Microphone, a high-quality, professional-grade audio solution that blends the legendary sound quality of the d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule with the convenience and comfort of a lightweight, flexible earset system. This durable condenser microphone is designed for quick adjustments, delivering clean, transparent sound quality with ample headroom.
The microphone capsule mirrors the type found in the d:fine 4066, but is innovatively attached to an interchangeable boom arm. This feature, along with the microphone's omnidirectional polar pattern, ensures accurate, natural voice intelligibility and high SPL capabilities. Whether you're speaking or singing, this versatile microphone captures every nuance without distortion.
Available as an earset (d:fine 4166) or headset (d:fine 4266), this microphone caters to a variety of needs. The earset variant is perfect for situations requiring quick and easy miking, such as conferences, while the headset variant is ideal for active performance situations, providing a secure fit without compromising comfort.
The d:fine CORE 4166 microphone is ergonomically designed to fit any ear size and head shape. It mounts securely, remains discreet, and can be easily adjusted for use on either the left or right ear. The unique connector design allows for quick cable or wireless connector replacements, enhancing the microphone's reliability.
This microphone comes with three boom lengths (40mm, 90mm, and 110mm) to accommodate different applications and head sizes, with the 110mm being the standard choice for most users.
At the heart of this microphone is CORE by DPA, a revolutionary technology that minimizes distortion and enhances clarity, delivering an open and clear sound, from a whisper to a scream. The d:fine CORE 4166 microphone is also IP58 certified, featuring water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for enhanced durability.
The omnidirectional nature of this microphone ensures sensitivity at all angles, picking up sound equally from all directions for a natural and realistic sound. Despite the potential for feedback in live situations, the close-to-source use of this microphone often results in a more natural sound, handling high sound pressure levels and reducing sensitivity to wind, pop, or handling noise.
The d:fine CORE 4166 microphone also features an adaptable system for wireless solutions, offering flexibility and affordability. This unique adapter system works with all leading wireless mic solutions, ensuring your investment in superior sound quality is protected for years to come.
