Renowned for its open and natural sound reproduction, this high-quality microphone is engineered to excel in both vocal performance and speech applications, delivering pristine audio quality that DPA Microphones is celebrated for.

The d:fine CORE 4088 boasts an exceptional off-axis rejection capability, ensuring that high sound pressure levels (SPL) are managed with precision. Its directional cardioid polar pattern is meticulously designed to suppress distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for live performance environments where background noise and feedback are potential issues.

Crafted for comfort and versatility, this lightweight and flexible microphone can be easily mounted on either the left or right side, adapting to the performer's preference. Its discreet profile, with a slim 0.64cm (0.25") diameter, allows for unobtrusive use while maintaining a secure dual-ear design suitable for a wide range of performing talent applications.

The d:fine CORE 4088's extended boom length ensures optimal placement at the corner of the mouth, enhancing sound clarity and reducing the risk of "popping" sounds. Weighing a mere 14g (0.5 oz), it is comfortable for extended wear, making it a reliable choice for performances that require sustained use.

CORE by DPA technology elevates the performance of the d:fine CORE 4088, offering a significant 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This microphone is also IP58 certified, demonstrating its durability through several protective measures, including a water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm, ensuring long-lasting performance in various conditions.

Understanding cardioid microphones is key to appreciating the d:fine CORE 4088's capabilities. Its "heart-shaped" polar pattern is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive from the sides and back, providing a perfect sound stage free from colorization of off-axis sounds. This directional pattern is ideal for live stages, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing bleed from other sources.

This innovative system ensures that you can switch adapters without compromising sound quality, safeguarding your investment in exceptional audio capture.
