Become a part of the professional audio world with the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone. This high-quality, durable microphone, produced by the reputable DPA Microphones, is the industry standard for professional headset mics. Its innovative design offers an open and natural sound, making it the perfect choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.
The d:fine CORE 4088 microphone is equipped with a cardioid polar pattern, a feature that minimizes background noise and focuses on the sound source. This makes it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. Its microdot connector ensures a secure and reliable connection, enhancing its versatility and reliability.
This lightweight and flexible microphone is easy to mount on either the left or right side, offering convenience and comfort for long periods of use. Its elegant design and beige color make it almost invisible when worn, adding to its appeal for performing talent applications. The microphone's boom is designed to be placed at the corner of the mouth, avoiding "popping" sounds for a clearer audio output.
The d:fine CORE 4088 microphone is enhanced with CORE by DPA technology, providing a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. It is also IP58 certified, ensuring its resistance to water and humidity. This is achieved through a 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 cardioid nature of this microphone, named for its "heart-shaped" polar pattern, ensures the most sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and at the back. This unique DPA capsule technique reduces the sensitivity to off-axis sounds, offering perfect sound stages. The proximity effect of cardioid mics, which causes an increase in bass response the closer the microphone is moved to the sound source, is also worth noting.
The d:fine CORE 4088 microphone comes with an adapter system that offers flexibility and affordability when choosing the MicroDot termination and an adapter. This system protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come, as it allows you to switch your adapter instead of purchasing a new microphone when circumstances change. The d:fine CORE 4088 is compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more.
