About DPA Microphones d:fine Legacy 4088 Headset Mic with TA4F Mini-XLR, Small, Black

Over the years, the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone has established itself as a quintessential tool for professionals seeking high-quality, reliable audio capture. Renowned for its pristine sound quality, this small, black headset microphone is a testament to innovation and versatility in the realm of vocal performance and spoken word applications.

Crafted with a keen attention to detail, the d:fine 4088 boasts an open and natural sound profile, meticulously engineered to deliver clarity and richness in every note and word. Its directional cardioid polar pattern is expertly designed to focus on sound from the front, significantly reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This feature is particularly beneficial in high sound pressure level (SPL) environments, where off-axis rejection is crucial for maintaining audio integrity amidst background noise and potential feedback.

The d:fine 4088 is not only a paragon of audio fidelity but also a marvel of comfort and adaptability. Its lightweight and flexible design ensures ease of use, allowing for quick mounting on either the left or right side, catering to the user's preference. The headset's resistance to humidity further underscores its durability, ensuring consistent performance in varying conditions.

The microphone's flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, highlighting its versatility. This system allows for seamless integration with a range of wireless solutions from industry-leading brands such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, and Zaxcom, among others. The adaptability of the d:fine 4088 ensures that it can evolve with changing technology and user needs, safeguarding your investment in exceptional sound quality for the long term.

In terms of design, the d:fine 4088 is sleek and unobtrusive, with a dual-ear configuration that provides stability and comfort for various performing talents. The microphone's discreet profile, with a mere .64cm (.25") diameter, allows performers to captivate their audience without the distraction of bulky equipment. Weighing just 14g (.5 oz), it remains comfortable even during extended periods of use.

The microphone's boom extends 3cm (1") longer than its omnidirectional counterpart, ensuring optimal placement at the corner of the mouth to capture the clearest sound possible. To prevent popping sounds, the capsule is strategically positioned to avoid direct placement in front of the mouth.

The d:fine Legacy 4088's bass response is meticulously calibrated for linearity at a close range of 2-3cm (1") from the sound source, which contributes to its superior background noise rejection and feedback avoidance. This precision highlights the microphone's robustness and consistency across a wide dynamic range, with minimal distortion at all SPLs.

In conclusion, the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with TA4F Mini-XLR Connector stands as a pinnacle of professional audio equipment. Its innovative design, coupled with its exceptional sound quality and adaptability, makes it an ideal choice for discerning professionals in live performance and recording settings.
