About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Headset Mic, MicroDot, 120mm, Brown

Explore the unparalleled audio quality of the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector. This high-quality, durable microphone is designed by the reputable brand, DPA Microphones, and is perfect for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone combines the legendary sound of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the lightweight and flexible d:fine Headset system. It offers accurate and natural voice intelligibility with very high-SPL capabilities, allowing users to both speak and sing into the mic without any hint of distortion. This reliable microphone provides excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

This stylish, brown-colored headset microphone is resistant to humidity and features a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems. It is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at a greater distance, a crucial factor for rejection of background noise and avoiding feedback. The microphone capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance, making it a reliable choice for any performance situation.

The d:fine CORE 4188 is available as an earset or headset, both ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. This microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape while mounting securely and remaining hardly visible. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors. The boom on this directional mic is 3 cm longer than on the omnidirectional version, ensuring perfect placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".

The d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Headset features CORE by DPA technology, offering a 14 dB increase in dynamic range and delivering an even more open and clear sound. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The microphone's cardioid polar pattern, named for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity, ensures the most sensitivity at the front and least from the sides and back. This makes it an ideal choice for live stage performances, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone's adapter system provides flexibility, allowing you to switch your adapter as circumstances change, without incurring the cost of a completely new microphone. This microphone works with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more.

Experience the superior sound quality and performance of the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector, a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to delivering top-notch audio equipment.
