You can elevate your vocal performances with the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone. This high-quality microphone, featuring a MicroDot Connector and a 100mm Boom, is designed with a sleek and stylish beige finish. It's not just about looks, though. This microphone is built to deliver superior sound quality, thanks to its 4088 Directional Capsule.

Ideal for both spoken word and vocal performances, the d:fine CORE 4188 microphone offers accurate and natural voice intelligibility. Its high-SPL capabilities ensure that you can speak or sing into the mic without any hint of distortion. The microphone's cardioid polar pattern is designed to minimize background noise and focus on the sound of your voice, making it perfect for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone is not only high-performing but also comfortable to wear. Its slim and flexible design allows for easy mounting to either the left or right ear. The microphone adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape, ensuring a secure fit while remaining barely visible.

The microphone's MicroDot Connector allows for easy connection to a wireless system or other audio equipment. The connector also splits the cable from the microphone boom, enabling quick swaps of broken cables or wireless connectors.

The microphone's boom length is 100mm, designed to accommodate different applications and head sizes. The boom is placed at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping" sounds and ensure optimal sound quality.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone is also resistant to humidity, thanks to the water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing. The sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic is hermetically sealed, and the diaphragm is dual gold plated, ensuring durability and longevity.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone is part of DPA's CORE technology microphones, which are IP58 certified. This certification guarantees the microphone's durability and resistance to harsh conditions.

The microphone's cardioid polar pattern, named for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity pattern, ensures the most sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and back. This makes the d:fine CORE 4188 microphone an excellent choice for live stage performances, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage.

The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone's adapter system offers flexibility and affordability. You can switch your adapter as circumstances change, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come. This microphone is compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone with MicroDot Connector, 100mm Boom, Beige is a professional, durable, and high-quality microphone designed for superior vocal performances.
