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

Be at the forefront of audio clarity and precision with the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone. This high-quality, professional-grade microphone is designed to deliver pristine sound quality, making it an ideal choice for presenters and vocalists who demand the best in audio performance.

Crafted with the legendary 4088 Directional Capsule, the d:fine 4188 boasts accurate voice intelligibility and the ability to handle very high sound pressure levels (SPL) without distortion. Whether speaking or singing, users can expect crystal-clear audio reproduction. The microphone's cardioid polar pattern ensures superior off-axis rejection, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources and significantly reducing background noise and feedback in live performance environments.

The sleek and stylish design of the d:fine 4188 offers minimal visual impact, allowing the focus to remain on the performance. Its lightweight and flexible construction ensures easy mounting to either the left or right ear, providing a comfortable and secure fit for any user. The microphone's resistance to humidity and optimized bass response cater to the most demanding of situations, ensuring consistent sound quality even in close proximity to the sound source.

The d:fine 4188's flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, offering unparalleled versatility. The TA4F mini-XLR connector ensures a stable and reliable connection, essential for professional audio equipment. With the ability to quickly swap broken cables or wireless connectors, this microphone is as durable as it is functional.

For those seeking enhanced performance, the d:fine CORE technology within the 4188 model offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. The CORE's advanced design delivers an open and clear sound that goes beyond the specifications, capturing the true essence of the performance.

IP58 certified, the d:fine CORE 4188 is built to withstand the rigors of any performance environment. Its water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic amplifier sealing, and dual gold-plated diaphragm ensure the microphone's longevity and consistent performance.

Understanding the importance of directional microphones, the d:fine 4188 utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to capture sound with precision. This design minimizes sound bleed from other sources on stage, providing a focused audio capture that is true to the source.

The d:fine 4188 comes with two boom length options, with the 120mm boom being the standard that accommodates most users. The positioning of the boom is crucial to avoid "popping" sounds, and its length ensures optimal placement for the best sound capture.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone with TA4F Mini-XLR Connector is a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to audio excellence. Its combination of sleek design, professional-grade audio quality, and versatile connectivity options make it the microphone of choice for those who refuse to compromise on sound.
