About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4166 Omni Headset Mic, 3-Pin LEMO, 110mm Boom, Beige

Make your performances and presentations stand out with the exceptional audio clarity of the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Headset Microphone. This premium condenser microphone features the renowned d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule, delivering a sound that is both clean and transparent, with ample headroom to handle the loudest of speakers or singers without distortion.

Crafted for versatility and comfort, the d:fine CORE 4166 is equipped with a slim, lightweight headset that is both quick to adjust and secure for active use. The microphone's design ensures a discreet, barely-there feel, while providing natural voice intelligibility and the ability to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) with ease.

The interchangeable boom arm of the d:fine CORE 4166 allows for precise positioning, ensuring that the microphone captures your voice accurately. The 110mm boom length is the standard choice, catering to a wide range of applications and head sizes. The microphone's flexibility extends to its use on either the left or right ear, thanks to the rotatable boom and ear hook.

At the core of this microphone is the innovative CORE by DPA technology, which significantly reduces distortion across all sound levels, from a soft whisper to a powerful scream. This results in an increase of 14 dB in dynamic range and an even more open and clear sound that cannot be fully appreciated through specifications alone.

The d:fine CORE 4166 is not only sonically superior but also boasts an IP58 certification, ensuring durability against the elements. This is achieved through a water-repellent nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm, making it resilient in any environment.

Omnidirectional microphones like the d:fine CORE 4166 capture sound with equal sensitivity from all directions, offering a realistic and natural sound quality. While omni mics can be prone to feedback in live situations, the close proximity use of the d:fine CORE 4166 minimizes this risk, making it a versatile tool for both ambient sound capture and focused audio recording.

The d:fine CORE 4166's adaptability is further enhanced by its compatibility with a wide range of wireless systems. The microphone's adapter system allows for easy and cost-effective switching between different systems, ensuring that your investment in high-quality sound is protected for years to come. Compatible with industry leaders like Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and more, the d:fine CORE 4166 offers unparalleled flexibility for professionals seeking the best in audio performance.
