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

Over the years, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone with MicroDot Connector and 100mm Boom in Black has become a trusted tool for professionals seeking superior audio quality. This high-performance microphone combines the renowned sound of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the convenience of the lightweight and flexible d:fine Earset system, making it an excellent choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

The d:fine 4188 Directional Earset Microphone delivers accurate and natural voice intelligibility along with high-SPL capabilities. This allows users to speak or sing into the mic without any hint of distortion. Its excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations efficiently suppresses distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

This microphone is not only lightweight and flexible but also easy to mount on either the left or right ear, offering minimal visual impact. It is resistant to humidity and features a flexible adapter system that is compatible with most professional wireless systems.

The 4088 Directional Capsule is designed to handle high-SPL events and feedback challenges with ease. Its bass response is optimized for linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial in rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback. The microphone capsule is also designed for low distortion and humidity resistance.

The d:fine 4188 is available as an earset or headset, with both types ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. The microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounts securely, and is hardly visible. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors.

The d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Earset features CORE by DPA technology, which offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology delivers an even more open and clear sound. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone features a cardioid or directional pattern, which is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive from the sides and back. This makes it perfect for capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice on a busy stage. The adapter system offers flexibility and affordability, allowing you to switch your adapter as circumstances change, without compromising on sound quality. This microphone is compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, making it a versatile choice for professionals.
