Take your audio performance to the next level with the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone. This high-quality microphone combines the superior sound of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the convenience and flexibility of the 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, natural voice intelligibility and high-SPL capabilities, allowing users to speak or sing without any distortion. Its excellent off-axis rejection capability 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 it also offers easy mounting to either the left or right ear. It's designed to be resistant to humidity and has a minimal visual impact, ensuring it won't distract from your performance. The flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, providing you with versatility and convenience.
The 4088 Directional Capsule is designed to handle high-SPL events and feedback with ease. Its bass response is optimized for linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial for rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback. The microphone capsule is also designed to resist distortion and humidity.
The d:fine 4188 is available as an earset or headset, with both options designed for comfort and ease of use. The microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, and it mounts securely while remaining virtually invisible. The connector allows for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors, and the boom length can be adjusted to accommodate different applications and head sizes.
The d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Earset features CORE by DPA technology, which offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology also delivers an open and clear sound that can't be captured in specifications alone. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The d:fine CORE 4188 also features a cardioid or "heart-shaped" polar pattern, which provides the most sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and back. This design minimizes sound bleed from other sources on a busy stage and increases the focus on the sound of an instrument or voice.
The d:fine CORE 4188's adapter system provides flexibility and affordability. You can easily switch your adapter as circumstances change, protecting your investment in high-quality sound for years to come. Compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, this microphone is a versatile addition to any audio setup.
In conclusion, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone with TA4F Mini-XLR Connector and 120mm Boom is a high-performance, versatile, and durable solution for all your audio needs.
