Just when you demand the utmost clarity and precision from a headset microphone, the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone emerges as the quintessential choice for professionals. Renowned for its classic design and superior audio fidelity, this medium, brown headset microphone is engineered to deliver an open and natural sound profile, making it an exemplary companion for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the d:fine CORE 4088 boasts an exceptional off-axis rejection capability, ensuring that high sound pressure levels (SPL) are managed with finesse. This feature is particularly beneficial in live performance settings where background noise and the potential for feedback pose significant challenges. The microphone's ability to suppress distant sound sources is unparalleled, providing a pristine audio environment even in the most demanding of situations.
The d:fine CORE 4088 is celebrated for its lightweight and flexible design, ensuring comfort and versatility for the wearer. Whether mounting to the left or right, users will find the process effortless, with the added benefit of the microphone's resistance to humidity, which enhances its durability and performance reliability.
The microphone's bass response is meticulously calibrated for optimal linearity at a proximity of 2-3cm (1") from the sound source, which contributes to its exceptional background noise rejection and feedback avoidance. The sleek and discreet design of the d:fine CORE 4088 solidifies its status as one of the most invisible head-worn true cardioid microphones available, maintaining an unobtrusive presence while delivering uncompromising sound quality.
Equipped with a secure, dual-ear design, the microphone is ideal for a variety of performing talent applications. Its diminutive .64cm (.25") diameter allows for inconspicuous usage, while the minimal weight of just 14g (.5 oz) ensures comfort during extended periods of use. The boom extends 3cm (1") longer than its omnidirectional counterpart, perfectly aligning with the need for placement at the corner of the mouth to minimize "popping" sounds.
CORE by DPA technology elevates the d:fine CORE 4088's performance with a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, while the IP58 certification guarantees robustness through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone is designed to capture sound with maximum sensitivity at the front, while significantly reducing pickup from the sides and rear. DPA's unique capsule technique ensures that off-axis sound is not colored but simply less sensitive, resulting in a perfect sound stage. The directional nature of the microphone makes it a staple on live stages, adept at isolating the sound of an instrument or voice amidst a bustling environment.
The d:fine CORE 4088's adapter system offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing compatibility with a multitude of professional wireless systems from brands like Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and more. This innovative system not only ensures a seamless transition between different systems without compromising sound quality but also represents a sound investment in long-lasting, adaptable microphone technology.
In summary, the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with 3-Pin LEMO Connector stands as a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to excellence in audio capture, offering professionals a reliable, high-quality solution for any performance or presentation scenario.
