About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4188 Headset Mic, TA4F Mini-XLR, 120mm, Brown

A fusion of superior sound quality and ergonomic design, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with TA4F Mini-XLR Connector and 120mm Boom in a stylish brown color is a professional-grade audio solution. 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 d:fine CORE 4188 microphone is not only reliable but also comfortable to wear for extended periods, thanks to its slim and flexible design. It can be easily mounted to the left or right, adjusting to fit any ear size and head shape. The microphone is hardly visible when worn, ensuring minimal visual impact during performances or presentations.

The microphone's connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swaps of broken cables or wireless connectors. It comes with a 120mm boom, which is ideal for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping" sounds.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone is equipped with CORE by DPA technology, which provides a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology delivers an even more open and clear sound, enhancing your audio performance. It is also IP58 certified, featuring a water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for added durability.

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. This system protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come, offering you the flexibility to switch your adapter as circumstances change, without any loss or change in sound quality.

In conclusion, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone with TA4F Mini-XLR Connector, 120mm Boom, Brown is a durable, high-quality, and stylish audio solution that delivers professional-grade performance.
