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

Before stepping onto the stage or presenting to an audience, professionals demand a microphone that delivers unparalleled audio quality with the flexibility to perform in any environment. The d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone stands as a testament to this need, offering a pristine sound experience for both spoken word and vocal performances. Its cardioid polar pattern excels in off-axis rejection, ensuring that high sound pressure levels (SPL) and background noises are minimized, making it an ideal choice for live events where clarity is paramount.

Crafted with durability and versatility in mind, this small, beige headset microphone is both lightweight and flexible, allowing for easy mounting on either the left or right side to suit individual preferences. The design is resistant to humidity, ensuring consistent performance in various conditions. The flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, adding to its versatile nature.

The d:fine CORE 4088 is engineered to handle the challenges of high-SPL environments effortlessly. Its bass response is optimized for a linear sound at a close range of 2-3cm (1") from the source, which significantly reduces the bass roll-off effect at greater distances. This feature is crucial for maintaining audio integrity by avoiding feedback and reducing unwanted background noise.

The sleek and discreet design of the d:fine 4088 Directional Headset Microphone renders it virtually invisible, making it the most inconspicuous true cardioid microphone available. The secure dual-ear design is suitable for a wide array of performing talents, ensuring stability and comfort during extended use. Weighing a mere 14g (.5 oz), it offers comfort without sacrificing sound quality. The boom extends 3cm (1") longer than its omnidirectional counterpart, perfectly aligning with the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping" sounds.

CORE by DPA technology elevates the performance of the d:fine CORE 4088, providing a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This microphone is IP58 certified, ensuring robustness through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The cardioid pattern of this microphone is designed to capture sound with precision, offering sensitivity at the front and reduced sensitivity from the sides and back. DPA's unique capsule technique ensures that off-axis sounds are not colored but merely reduced in sensitivity, allowing for an authentic sound stage. The directional pattern minimizes stage bleed and focuses on the intended sound source, which is essential for live performances.

The proximity effect is carefully managed to ensure a balanced bass response, and the microphone's sensitivity to wind, pop, and handling noises is mitigated with appropriate precautions. The innovative adapter system by DPA Microphones is unmatched in the industry, providing the flexibility to switch between different wireless systems without compromising sound quality, thus protecting your investment in exceptional audio for years to come.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with 3-Pin LEMO Connector is a professional-grade, reliable, and durable choice for presenters and performers seeking a high-quality audio solution that can adapt to the rigors of live performance environments.
