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.
