Make your voice heard with the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone, a high-quality, professional-grade audio device. This stylish and reliable headset microphone is designed with a 1/8" Mini-Jack Connector and a 120mm boom, offering a durable solution for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.
The d:fine CORE 4188 boasts the legendary sound of the 4088 Directional Capsule, combined with the lightweight and flexible d:fine Headset system. This ensures accurate and natural voice intelligibility and high-SPL capabilities. Whether you're speaking or singing, this microphone delivers clear, distortion-free audio, even in high-SPL situations.
Designed with a cardioid polar pattern, the d:fine CORE 4188 efficiently suppresses distant sound sources. This makes it an excellent choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. The bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at a greater distance for superior background noise rejection.
The microphone capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance, making it a reliable choice for various environments. The d:fine 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, mounts securely, and is hardly visible, ensuring minimal visual impact.
The d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Headset comes with a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems. This feature allows you to swap broken cables and wireless connectors quickly, ensuring uninterrupted performance. The boom on this directional mic is 3 cm longer than on the omnidirectional version, which matches the need for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".
All CORE by DPA technology microphones, including the d:fine CORE 4188, are IP58 certified, offering 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 d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Headset Microphone is a perfect choice for those seeking a high-quality, durable, and reliable audio solution. Whether you're delivering a conference speech or performing live on stage, this microphone ensures your voice is captured with clarity and precision.
