The d:fine CORE 4088 features CORE by DPA technology, offering a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. All CORE microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring resistance to humidity and durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The cardioid polar pattern of this microphone, named for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity field, ensures the most sensitivity at the front and least from the sides and back. This makes it perfect for capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice on a busy stage, while minimizing bleed from other sounds.
