When it comes to delivering superior audio quality in both spoken word and vocal performance applications, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone stands out. This sleek and stylish headset microphone integrates the renowned 4088 Directional Capsule with the lightweight and flexible d:fine Headset system. The result is a high-quality, professional-grade microphone that offers accurate and natural voice intelligibility, even in high-SPL situations.
The d:fine CORE 4188 is designed to suppress distant sound sources effectively, making it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. Its 3-pin LEMO connector is not only reliable and durable but also easy to connect and disconnect, enhancing its usability.
This headset microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, which is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive from the sides and at the back. This design minimizes the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage, making it perfect for capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice.
The microphone's slim design and black color make it discreet and less noticeable, ideal for presenters or performers who prefer minimal visual impact. It is resistant to humidity and comes with a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems.
The d:fine CORE 4188 is available as an earset or headset, both ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. It adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounts securely, and is hardly visible. The microphone can be easily used on either the left or the right ear by rotating the boom and the ear hook.
The boom on this directional mic is 120mm, which is ideal for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping". The microphone capsule is optimized for low distortion as well as humidity resistance, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging conditions.
All CORE by DPA technology microphones, including the d:fine CORE 4188, are IP58 certified, thanks to their water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The d:fine CORE 4188's adapter system offers flexibility, allowing you to switch your adapter as circumstances change, without any loss or change in sound quality. This microphone is compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, making it a versatile choice for various audio requirements.
