About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Headset Mic, MicroDot, 100mm, Black

The d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone is a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to providing sleek, stylish, and professional-grade audio solutions. This high-quality microphone is designed with a 100mm boom, offering a comfortable and secure fit for both spoken word and vocal performance applications. Its slim and unobtrusive design ensures minimal visual impact, making it an ideal choice for performers and speakers who require a microphone that blends seamlessly with their presentation.

Crafted with the legendary 4088 Directional Capsule, the d:fine 4188 delivers pristine audio quality with exceptional voice intelligibility and the ability to handle very high sound pressure levels (SPL) without distortion. The cardioid polar pattern of this microphone is expertly engineered to offer excellent off-axis rejection, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources and significantly reducing the risk of feedback in live performance environments.

The d:fine CORE 4188's adaptability is unmatched, with easy mounting options for both the left and right ears. Its flexible design allows for quick adjustments to fit any ear size and head shape, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit during extended use. The microphone's resistance to humidity and its water-repellant nano-coating make it a durable choice for even the most demanding situations.

Furthermore, the d:fine CORE 4188 boasts an advanced adapter system compatible with most professional wireless systems, offering unparalleled flexibility for users. The MicroDot connector simplifies the process of connecting to wireless systems or audio interfaces, while also allowing for quick cable or connector replacements if needed.

The CORE by DPA technology within this microphone enhances its performance with a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, ensuring an open and clear sound that captures the essence of the performer's voice. IP58 certification guarantees that the microphone is protected against dust and moisture, thanks to its hermetically sealed amplifier and dual gold-plated diaphragm.

Understanding the importance of directional microphones on live stages, the d:fine CORE 4188 utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to minimize sound bleed from other sources, ensuring that the focus remains on the intended sound. The proximity effect is carefully managed to maintain a flat frequency response at the optimal distance from the sound source.

In conclusion, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector is a robust, professional, and versatile audio solution that stands out for its exceptional sound quality, comfort, and adaptability, making it the preferred choice for industry professionals seeking reliability and performance in their audio equipment.
