About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4166 Omni Earset Mic, TA4F, 110mm Boom, Beige

What sets the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Earset Microphone apart is its combination of superior sound quality, versatility, and comfort. This high-quality microphone is designed specifically for vocal applications, delivering clear, transparent sound with plenty of headroom, thanks to its legendary d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule.

The d:fine CORE 4166 is not just about exceptional sound; it's also about convenience and adaptability. It features a lightweight and flexible earset system that is quick and easy to adjust, making it ideal for both professional and casual users.

The d:fine CORE 4166 is powered by CORE by DPA technology, which minimizes distortion and enhances clarity and openness, regardless of the volume level. From whispers to screams, this microphone delivers consistently clear and open sound.

Moreover, the d:fine CORE 4166 is IP58 certified, featuring a water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for added durability.

The omnidirectional polar pattern of this microphone ensures sensitivity at all angles, capturing sound equally from all directions for a natural and realistic audio experience. Despite the potential for feedback in live situations, the d:fine CORE 4166's close proximity to the sound source, high sound pressure level handling, and resistance to wind, pop, or handling noise make it a reliable choice for a variety of audio applications.

Finally, the d:fine CORE 4166 offers flexibility with its unique adapter system. Compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, this system allows you to switch your adapter as needed, protecting your investment in superior sound quality for years to come.
