The d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with 3-Pin LEMO Connector, Medium, Beige is a professional-grade, high-quality microphone that sets the standard in the industry. This versatile headset microphone is designed to deliver an open and natural sound, making it the perfect choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.
The microphone's cardioid polar pattern ensures excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources. This makes it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are common concerns.
The d:fine CORE 4088 is not only lightweight and flexible but also easy to mount on either the left or right side. Its resistance to humidity and its flexible adapter system, which fits most professional wireless systems, further enhance its versatility and reliability.
In high-SPL events or when feedback is a concern, this microphone will tackle these challenges with ease. Its bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3cm (1") from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at a greater distance. This is a crucial factor in the rejection of background noise and in the fight to avoid feedback.
The d:fine CORE 4088's smooth and elegant design makes it one of the most discreet head-worn true cardioid microphones in the world. Its secure, dual-ear design and small .64cm (.25") diameter allow for discreet use, making it suitable for various performing talent applications.
The microphone is incredibly comfortable, weighing only 14g (.5 oz), making it perfect for long periods of wear. The boom is 3cm (1") longer than on the omnidirectional version, which matches the need for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".
The d:fine CORE 4088 features CORE by DPA technology, which provides 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 cardioid microphone, named for its "heart-shaped" polar pattern, offers the most sensitivity at the front and is least sensitive from the sides and at the back. This directional pattern helps to minimize the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage, making it an excellent choice for live stage performances.
The d:fine CORE 4088's adapter system offers flexibility and affordability. You are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter, instead of incurring the cost of a completely new microphone. The d:fine, d:screet, and d:vote series of miniature microphones work with all leading wireless mic solutions, ensuring your investment in fantastic sound is protected for years to come.
