About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4166 Omni Headset Mic, Mini Jack, 110mm Boom, Black

After meticulous engineering, the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Headset Microphone emerges as a pinnacle of audio precision and reliability. This high-quality condenser microphone is a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to professional-grade sound equipment. It features the renowned d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule, delivering a sound that is both clean and transparent with ample headroom, ensuring that every nuance of the vocal performance is captured with clarity.

The innovative design of the d:fine CORE 4166 includes a lightweight and flexible headset system that is quick to adjust for a comfortable, secure fit, making it an ideal choice for both speaking and singing applications. The microphone boasts natural voice intelligibility and can handle very high sound pressure levels (SPL) without any hint of distortion, allowing users to express themselves from a soft whisper to a powerful scream with consistent audio quality.

Versatility is at the heart of the d:fine CORE 4166, with an interchangeable boom arm that can be rotated for use on either the left or right ear. This feature, combined with the ability to mount securely and remain nearly invisible, makes the microphone a discreet yet powerful tool for performances, interviews, and conferences. The hardwired 1/8" mini jack connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment, while the 110mm boom length is optimized for most users.

The CORE by DPA technology at the core of this microphone significantly minimizes distortion, providing an open and clear sound that captures the true essence of the source. The d:fine CORE 4166 benefits from a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, which is not fully conveyed by specifications alone but is evident in the microphone's performance.

Durability is also a key feature of the d:fine CORE 4166, which is IP58 certified, ensuring that it is resistant to moisture and dust. This is achieved through a water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm, making it a durable choice for demanding environments.

The omnidirectional polar pattern of the microphone is designed to pick up sound equally from all directions, providing a natural and realistic audio capture. This makes it an excellent choice for ambient sound recording and for miking large sound sources. Despite the challenges of feedback in live situations, the d:fine CORE 4166 excels when used close to the sound source due to its equal frequency response.

The microphone's adapter system offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing users to switch between different wireless systems without compromising sound quality. This adaptability ensures that the d:fine CORE 4166 is a long-term investment in superior sound that can adapt to changing technological landscapes.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Headset Microphone stands as a beacon of innovation, versatility, and professional audio quality, making it an exceptional choice for discerning users who demand the best in vocal microphone technology.
