With its sleek design and professional-grade performance, the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Earset Microphone stands out as an exceptional choice for presenters, vocalists, and audio professionals seeking high-quality, discreet audio capture. This state-of-the-art condenser microphone features the renowned d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Capsule, delivering a sound that is both clean and transparent with ample headroom, ensuring that from the softest whispers to the most powerful vocals, your audio will be captured with clarity and precision.
The d:fine CORE 4166 is meticulously engineered to combine durability and flexibility, with an interchangeable boom arm that can be swiftly adjusted to suit your needs. The omnidirectional polar pattern of this microphone is designed to pick up sound uniformly from all directions, offering unparalleled natural voice intelligibility without the risk of distortion, even at high sound pressure levels (SPL).
Ergonomically crafted to fit any ear size and head shape, the d:fine CORE 4166 mounts securely and is virtually invisible to the audience, providing a comfortable and stable fit for extended use. The 110mm boom length is the standard choice for most users, ensuring optimal placement and performance. Additionally, the microphone can be worn on either the left or right ear by simply rotating the boom and the ear hook, adding to its versatility and ease of use.
The hardwired 1/8" mini jack connector ensures compatibility with a wide array of devices, making this microphone a flexible addition to your audio toolkit. The connector also features a unique split design that allows for quick and easy cable or wireless connector swaps, minimizing downtime and extending the life of the microphone.
At the core of the d:fine CORE 4166 lies the revolutionary CORE by DPA technology, which significantly reduces distortion and enhances the dynamic range by 14 dB. The result is an even more open and clear sound that captures the true tone and emotion of every performance.
Durability is a hallmark of this microphone, with IP58 certification ensuring that it is resistant to water, moisture, and dust. The microphone's cover and housing are treated with a water-repellant nano-coating, while the amplifier at the heart of the microphone is hermetically sealed, and the diaphragm is dual gold-plated, offering robust protection against the elements.
The d:fine CORE 4166's omnidirectional pickup pattern is ideal for capturing ambient sounds and for miking large sound sources, such as choirs, in recording settings. While omni microphones can be prone to feedback in live situations, the d:fine CORE 4166 is designed to minimize such issues when placed close to the sound source, providing a more natural and realistic sound.
The microphone's adaptable design is compatible with a wide range of wireless systems, ensuring that you can easily switch adapters without compromising sound quality. This flexibility, combined with the renowned reputation of DPA Microphones, makes the d:fine CORE 4166 Slim Flex Omnidirectional Earset Microphone a smart investment for those who demand the best in audio performance and versatility.
