About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Earset Mic, 3-Pin LEMO, 120mm,Beige

Be prepared to experience superior audio quality with the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone. This high-performance microphone combines the renowned sound quality of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the flexibility and lightweight design of the d:fine Earset system, making it an ideal choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

The d:fine 4188 Directional Earset Microphone delivers accurate and natural voice intelligibility along with high-SPL capabilities. This ensures users can speak or sing into the mic without any hint of distortion. The microphone's excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations efficiently suppresses distant sound sources, making it a perfect fit for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

The microphone features a pristine audio quality that is resistant to humidity, ensuring consistent performance in various conditions. Its flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, offering versatility and convenience.

The d:fine 4188 is available in both earset and headset variants. The earset variant is quick to put on, making it a great choice for conferences and other events where quick setup is required. The headset variant, on the other hand, offers a secure fit around the head, making it ideal for active performance situations.

This microphone is designed with user comfort in mind. It adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounts securely, and is hardly visible. The boom and the ear hook can be easily rotated, allowing the microphone to be used on either the left or the right ear. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, enabling quick replacement of broken cables or wireless connectors.

The d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Earset Microphone features two directional boom lengths to accommodate different applications and head sizes. The 120 mm boom is the standard length that fits most people. The microphone capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance.

The microphone is part of the CORE by DPA series, which is known for delivering an open and clear sound. It is IP58 certified, thanks to its water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Earset Microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, which is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive from the sides and at the back. This makes it an excellent choice for live stage performances, concerts, and spoken-word events, as it captures the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage.

The microphone's adapter system offers flexibility and affordability. It works with all leading wireless mic solutions, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more. This unique adapter system from DPA Microphones protects your investment in sound quality for years to come.
