About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4088 Headset Mic with MicroDot, Small, Beige

Bring unparalleled clarity and precision to your vocal performances with the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone. Renowned as the industry standard among professional headset microphones, this small, beige, high-quality mic delivers an open and natural sound profile, making it the go-to choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

Crafted with a focus on durability and reliability, the d:fine CORE 4088 excels in high sound pressure level (SPL) environments, offering exceptional off-axis rejection. This feature is essential for live performances, where suppressing distant sound sources is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the audio captured. Its innovative design ensures that background noise and the risk of feedback are minimized, allowing the artist's voice to take center stage.

The microphone's pristine audio quality is matched by its lightweight and flexible construction, ensuring comfort during extended use. The adaptable design allows for easy mounting on either the left or right side, catering to individual preferences and ensuring a secure fit for all performers. The extended boom length is tailored for optimal placement near the corner of the mouth, reducing "popping" sounds and ensuring clear diction.

CORE by DPA technology elevates the d:fine CORE 4088's performance with a significant 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This advancement, combined with the microphone's IP58 certification, showcases its innovative features, including water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm, all contributing to its robust and reliable nature.

The cardioid polar pattern of the d:fine CORE 4088 is engineered to capture the essence of the performer's voice with precision. The heart-shaped sensitivity pattern focuses on sound from the front while reducing noise from the sides and rear. DPA's unique capsule technique ensures that off-axis sounds are not colored but simply less pronounced, providing a perfect sound stage for live and studio settings.

The d:fine CORE 4088's adapter system offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing seamless integration with most professional wireless systems. This versatility means that as your needs evolve, you can switch adapters without compromising sound quality or investing in new microphones, making it a smart, long-term choice for performers and audio professionals.

Embrace the smooth and elegant design of the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone, the most discreet and unobtrusive cardioid microphone available, and experience the difference in your audio performances.
