About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4088 Headset Mic with Mini-Jack, Small, Brown

Before you settle for any microphone, consider the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone, a classic industry standard in professional headset microphones. This small, brown, lightweight microphone delivers pristine audio quality, making it an excellent choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

Designed to provide superior off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations, the d:fine CORE 4088 efficiently suppresses distant sound sources. This makes it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are potential issues. The microphone's bass response is optimally designed for linearity at 2-3cm (1") from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial for the rejection of background noise and the avoidance of feedback.

The d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Its smooth and elegant design makes it one of the most discreet head-worn true cardioid microphones globally. With a secure, dual-ear design, this microphone is suitable for various performing talent applications. Its small .64cm (.25") diameter allows for discreet use, and its lightweight design of just 14g (.5 oz) ensures comfort even when worn for extended periods.

This microphone is flexible and can be mounted on either the right or left side. The boom is 3cm (1") longer than on the omnidirectional version, which suits placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".

The d:fine CORE 4088 is powered by CORE by DPA technology, offering a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The d:fine CORE 4088 is a cardioid microphone, named for its "heart-shaped" polar pattern. This directional microphone is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive from the sides and at the back. The unique DPA capsule technique reduces the sensitivity to these angles, offering perfect sound stages.

The microphone's adapter system offers flexibility, allowing you to switch your adapter as circumstances change, without the need for a completely new microphone. The d:fine, d:screet, and d:vote series of miniature microphones are compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more. This ingenious adapter system by DPA Microphones is unique in the industry, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
