From professional recording studios to live performances and broadcasting applications, the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Headset Microphone is a high-quality, durable, and reliable audio solution. This professional-grade microphone merges the legendary sound quality of the d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule with a lightweight, flexible headset system, offering a versatile and comfortable audio solution for extended use.
The d:fine CORE 4166 features a condenser microphone capsule that delivers clean, transparent sound with ample headroom, ensuring accurate and natural voice intelligibility. Whether you're speaking or singing, this microphone can handle high SPL capabilities without any hint of distortion, capturing every nuance of your voice.
The microphone is attached to an interchangeable boom arm, available in three lengths (40mm, 90mm, and 110mm) to accommodate different applications and head sizes. The 110mm boom is the standard choice for most users, providing the perfect balance of flexibility and stability.
The d:fine CORE 4166 is designed with user comfort in mind. It adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounts securely, and is hardly visible. The microphone can be easily used on either the left or right ear by rotating the boom and the ear hook. The hardwired 1/8" mini jack connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick cable or wireless connector swaps.
This microphone is part of the CORE by DPA technology range, which minimizes distortion and enhances clarity and openness in sound. The d:fine CORE 4166 boasts a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, delivering an even more open and clear sound.
All CORE by DPA microphones, including the d:fine CORE 4166, are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The omnidirectional nature of this microphone allows it to pick up sound equally from all directions, providing a natural and realistic sound. Despite the potential for feedback in live situations, the close-to-source use of this microphone, coupled with its equal frequency response, makes it a versatile addition to your audio toolbox.
The d:fine CORE 4166 is compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more, thanks to DPA Microphones' unique adapter system. This system protects your investment in sound quality, offering flexibility and affordability as your circumstances change.
