About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Headset Mic, Mini-Jack, 120mm,Black

With the integration of the renowned 4088 Directional Capsule, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone stands out as a premium audio solution for both spoken word and vocal performance applications. Engineered for clarity and precision, this headset microphone delivers accurate voice intelligibility and is capable of handling very high sound pressure levels (SPL) without distortion. Whether speaking or singing, the d:fine 4188 maintains a clear and natural sound.

The microphone's exceptional off-axis rejection is particularly beneficial in high-SPL environments, effectively minimizing background noise and reducing the risk of feedback, making it an ideal choice for live performances and presentations. Its directional design ensures focused audio capture, with a bass response that is most linear at a 2-3 cm (approximately 1") distance from the sound source, thereby enhancing noise rejection capabilities.

Crafted for comfort and minimal visibility, the d:fine CORE 4188 headset is both lightweight and flexible. It can be easily mounted on either the left or right side, adapting seamlessly to the wearer's preference. The headset's discreet profile allows for an unobtrusive presence, ensuring that the focus remains on the performance or presentation.

Durability is a key feature of this microphone, with resistance to humidity being a cornerstone of its design. The d:fine CORE 4188 benefits from DPA's CORE technology, which extends the dynamic range by 14 dB and improves sound openness and clarity. Furthermore, the microphone is IP58 certified, ensuring robust protection against dust and moisture through a water-repellent nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone is heart-shaped, offering maximum sensitivity at the front while significantly reducing pickup from the sides and rear. DPA's unique capsule technique ensures that off-axis sounds are not colored but simply less sensitive, allowing for a more authentic sound stage.

The d:fine CORE 4188 comes with a flexible adapter system, compatible with most professional wireless systems, providing versatility and ease of use across various setups. This system allows for quick and easy cable or connector replacements, safeguarding your investment and ensuring consistent sound quality.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with a 120mm boom is a robust, professional-grade microphone that offers pristine audio quality, adaptability, and resilience, making it a top choice for performers and speakers seeking reliability and excellence in their audio equipment.
