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

You can elevate your audio experience with the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone. This sleek and stylish headset microphone is designed by DPA Microphones, a brand renowned for its high-quality audio equipment.

The d:fine CORE 4188 is a professional-grade headset microphone that combines the superior sound quality of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the flexibility and lightweight design of the d:fine Headset system. This makes it an ideal choice for both spoken word presentations and vocal performances.

The microphone offers accurate and natural voice intelligibility, along with high-SPL capabilities. This means you can speak or sing into the mic without any hint of distortion. It also provides excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources. This makes it a perfect choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

The headset microphone is resistant to humidity and features a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems. It is designed to be easily mounted to either the left or right ear, offering minimal visual impact. The microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

The d:fine CORE 4188 comes with a TA4F mini-XLR connector and a 120mm boom, which can be easily rotated for use on either ear. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors.

The microphone capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance. It also features a bass response designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This is crucial for the rejection of background noise and avoiding feedback.

The d:fine CORE 4188 is available as an earset or headset, both ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use. The earset variant is quick to put on, making it a great choice for conference use, while the headset variant offers a more secure fit, ideal for active performance situations.

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 features a cardioid or directional microphone pattern, offering the most sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and back. 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 adapter system of the d:fine CORE 4188 offers flexibility, allowing you to switch your adapter as circumstances change, without the need for a completely new microphone. The microphone works with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more.

In conclusion, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone is a durable, high-quality audio solution that offers pristine audio quality, flexibility, and ease of use.
