Bring your performances to life with the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector. This professional-grade, high-quality microphone is a staple in the industry, renowned for its open and natural sound. It's the perfect choice for both spoken word and vocal performances, ensuring your voice is heard clearly and crisply, even in high-SPL situations.
This durable and reliable microphone boasts a cardioid polar pattern, expertly designed to reject sound from the rear and focus on sound from the front. This makes it an ideal solution for live performances where background noise and feedback can be challenging. The microphone's excellent off-axis rejection suppresses distant sound sources, allowing your voice to take center stage.
The d:fine CORE 4088 is not only functional but also versatile. Its MicroDot connector is compatible with a wide range of wireless systems, offering you flexibility and ease of use. The microphone's lightweight and flexible design ensures comfort during long performances, while its small size and brown color make it discreet and unobtrusive.
The microphone's design also includes a secure, dual-ear design, suitable for various performing talent applications. The boom is strategically longer than on the omnidirectional version, allowing for optimal placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".
The d:fine CORE 4088 is part of the CORE by DPA range, offering a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. It's also IP58 certified, featuring water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for enhanced durability.
The microphone's cardioid nature makes it a popular choice for live stage performances, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing bleed from other sounds. However, it's also sensitive to wind, pop, and handling noises, so precautions should be taken to guard against these.
Finally, the d:fine CORE 4088 features an adapter system for wireless systems, providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness. This system allows you to switch your adapter as needed, without compromising on sound quality or investing in a new microphone. The d:fine, d:screet, and d:vote series of miniature microphones are compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
