This high-quality microphone is crafted for both spoken word and vocal performance applications, offering accurate and natural voice intelligibility with high-SPL capabilities.
Designed with a cardioid polar pattern, this microphone excels in minimizing background noise and focusing on the sound of the speaker or singer. This feature makes it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. The 4088 Directional Capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance, ensuring the microphone delivers pristine audio quality in any setting.

The microphone's cardioid pattern, named for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity range, ensures perfect sound stages by reducing sensitivity to sounds from the sides or the rear. This makes it an excellent choice for live stage performances or spoken-word events, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing bleed from other sounds on a busy stage.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone also features a flexible adapter system, compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions.
