With the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone, professionals in the audio industry can experience unparalleled sound quality and performance. This medium-sized, black headset microphone is renowned for its durability, high-quality audio reproduction, and professional-grade reliability. It is an ideal choice for presenters and vocalists who demand a versatile and reliable microphone that can handle high-pressure live environments.
The d:fine CORE 4088 boasts a cardioid polar pattern, expertly engineered to minimize background noise and focus on the sound source directly in front of the microphone. This directional characteristic ensures that your voice is captured with clarity and precision, making it perfect for live performances, broadcasts, and presentations where ambient noise and feedback could otherwise be a distraction.
Crafted for pristine audio quality, the microphone delivers an open and natural sound profile, which is essential for both spoken word and vocal performances. Its excellent off-axis rejection capabilities are particularly effective in high-SPL (Sound Pressure Level) situations, suppressing distant sound sources and providing a clean audio output.
The headset is lightweight and flexible, allowing for easy mounting on either the left or right side, ensuring comfort and ease of use during extended wear. Its discreet profile, with a small 0.25-inch diameter, makes the d:fine CORE 4088 one of the most invisible head-worn true cardioid microphones available. The boom is thoughtfully designed to be 3cm longer than its omnidirectional counterpart, facilitating optimal placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping" sounds.
CORE by DPA technology elevates the performance of the d:fine CORE 4088, with a significant 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology also contributes to the microphone's IP58 certification, which guarantees robust protection against dust and moisture. The microphone benefits from a water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm, ensuring consistent performance in any environment.
The d:fine CORE 4088's adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, offering unparalleled flexibility. This system allows for easy switching between different wireless setups without compromising sound quality, safeguarding your investment in high-fidelity sound for the long term.
In summary, the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone is a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to excellence in the audio industry. It is a top-tier choice for professionals seeking a durable, high-quality, and professional microphone that delivers reliable and versatile performance in any setting.
