This high-performance microphone combines the renowned sound quality of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the convenience and flexibility of the d:fine Earset system.
Designed to deliver accurate and natural voice intelligibility, this microphone boasts high-SPL capabilities, allowing users to speak or sing without any distortion. Its excellent off-axis rejection makes it a reliable choice for high-SPL situations, efficiently suppressing distant sound sources. This makes it a perfect fit for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are potential issues.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone is not only lightweight and flexible but also easy to mount on either the left or right ear. Its minimal visual impact and resistance to humidity make it a versatile choice for various environments. The flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, adding to its convenience.
The 4088 Directional Capsule is designed to handle high-SPL events and feedback issues with ease. Its bass response is optimized for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial in rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback. The microphone capsule is also designed for low distortion and humidity resistance.
Available as an earset or headset, the d:fine 4188 microphone is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. It adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, mounts securely, and is hardly visible. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone features two directional boom lengths to accommodate different applications and head sizes. The 120mm boom is ideal for placement at the corner of the mouth, helping to avoid "popping".
The CORE by DPA technology in this microphone offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range, delivering an even more open and clear sound. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone features a cardioid or directional pattern, offering the most sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and back. This makes it ideal for capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice on a busy stage.
The unique adapter system of this microphone offers flexibility and affordability. It works with all leading wireless mic solutions, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come. Whether you're using Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, or others, this microphone ensures no loss or change in sound quality when switching adapters.
In conclusion, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone with MicroDot Connector and 120mm Boom in Beige is a high-quality, versatile, and reliable choice for superior audio performance.
