About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4088 Headset Mic with 3-Pin LEMO, Small, Brown

Because clarity and precision are paramount in professional vocal performances, the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone stands out as the quintessential choice for artists and speakers who demand the best in sound quality. This small, brown headset microphone is renowned for its durability, high-quality audio capture, and professional-grade reliability, making it a staple in the industry.

Crafted with a cardioid polar pattern, the d:fine CORE 4088 excels in isolating the speaker's voice from unwanted background noise, ensuring that every word is captured with crystal-clear accuracy. This directional design is especially beneficial in high sound pressure level (SPL) environments, where off-axis rejection is critical to maintaining the integrity of the vocal performance.

The microphone's pristine audio quality is further enhanced by CORE by DPA technology, which provides a significant 14 dB increase in dynamic range, allowing for a more nuanced and vibrant audio capture. The IP58 certification ensures that the microphone is resistant to humidity, water, and dust, thanks to a water-repellant nano-coating and hermetic sealing of the amplifier at the core, ensuring consistent performance in any condition.

The d:fine CORE 4088's lightweight and flexible design, weighing just 14g, offers supreme comfort and adaptability for extended use. Its discreet profile, with a mere .64cm diameter, allows for unobtrusive wear, while the secure dual-ear design ensures stability during dynamic performances. The microphone can be easily mounted on either the left or right side, with a boom that is optimally positioned to capture the voice without interference from breath or wind noise.

Understanding the nuances of cardioid microphones, the d:fine CORE 4088 is engineered to provide a flat frequency response at the measured distance, while minimizing the proximity effect that can lead to an exaggerated bass response. This attention to detail ensures that the microphone delivers a true-to-life representation of the vocal source.

The flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, offering unparalleled versatility. This system allows for easy switching between different wireless setups without compromising sound quality, making the d:fine CORE 4088 a smart, long-term investment for performers who require consistent, top-tier audio performance across various platforms.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with 3-Pin LEMO Connector is the epitome of professional audio equipment, designed to meet the rigorous demands of live performances and spoken word events. Its exceptional sound quality, adaptability, and discreet elegance make it the invisible powerhouse behind countless captivating performances.
