About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4166 Omni Earset Mic, MicroDot, 90mm Boom, Brown

From professional vocal performances to conference presentations, the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Earset Microphone with MicroDot Connector is the perfect audio solution. This high-quality, durable microphone is designed by the renowned DPA Microphones, offering a professional and reliable audio experience.

The d:fine CORE 4166 microphone integrates the legendary sound quality of the d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule into a lightweight and flexible earset system. This condenser microphone is not only easy and quick to adjust, but it also delivers clean, transparent sound quality with ample headroom.

The microphone capsule is identical to the d:fine 4066, but it's attached to an interchangeable 90mm boom arm. Like all microphones in the d:fine range, the 4166 model offers accurate, natural voice intelligibility and high SPL capabilities. Whether you're speaking or singing, this microphone ensures no hint of distortion, providing a clear and crisp audio output.

The d:fine CORE 4166 microphone is available in both earset and headset variants. The earset version is quick to put on, making it an ideal choice for situations where fast and easy miking is required, such as conferences. The headset version, on the other hand, offers a more secure fit, making it perfect for active performance situations.

Ergonomically designed, this microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounting securely while remaining virtually invisible. The microphone can be easily used on either the left or right ear by rotating the boom and the ear hook. The MicroDot connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick replacement of broken cables or wireless connectors.

The d:fine CORE 4166 microphone incorporates CORE by DPA technology, a powerful feature that minimizes distortion and enhances clarity and openness. From whispers to screams, this microphone captures every sound with increased clarity.

This microphone is also IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The omnidirectional polar pattern of the d:fine CORE 4166 microphone picks up sound equally from all directions, offering natural and realistic sound. While omni mics can produce feedback in live situations, when used close to the sound source, they provide a more natural sound, can handle extremely high sound pressure levels, and are not as sensitive to wind, pop, or handling noise.

The d:fine CORE 4166 microphone also features a unique adapter system for wireless systems, offering flexibility and affordability. This system allows you to switch your adapter as circumstances change, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come. Compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, this microphone is a versatile addition to your audio toolbox.
