About DPA Microphones d:fine Legacy 4088 Headset Mic with MicroDot, Small, Black

Why choose the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone for your professional audio needs This high-quality, small, black headset microphone is a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to excellence in sound engineering. Renowned for its pristine audio quality, the d:fine 4088 is a top choice for industry professionals seeking a reliable and innovative solution for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

The d:fine 4088 boasts a true cardioid polar pattern, expertly designed to capture sound with precision from the front while minimizing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This directional characteristic ensures that your voice stands out clearly, even in high-SPL (Sound Pressure Level) environments where background noise and feedback could otherwise be disruptive.

Crafted for durability and resistance to humidity, this headset microphone is built to withstand the rigors of live performances and demanding settings. Its lightweight and flexible design allows for easy mounting on either the left or right side, providing versatility and comfort for extended use. The sleek and discreet profile of the microphone, with a mere .64cm (.25") diameter, makes it virtually invisible when worn, maintaining the visual focus on the performer.

The d:fine 4088's extended boom is tailored for optimal placement at the corner of the mouth, ensuring that the bass response is linear and consistent when positioned at the ideal distance of 2-3cm (1") from the sound source. This careful design consideration also aids in reducing the risk of 'popping' sounds for a cleaner audio output.

As part of the d:fine series, this microphone is compatible with a vast array of professional wireless systems, thanks to its flexible adapter system and MicroDot connector. This feature provides users with the freedom to switch between different wireless setups without compromising sound quality, making it a cost-effective and adaptable choice for various performance requirements.

The legacy of the d:fine 4088 is built on its clear, consistent, and robust performance across a wide dynamic range, with low distortion at all SPLs. Its cardioid design is engineered to naturally dampen sounds from off-axis angles without colorizing the audio, ensuring a perfect sound stage every time.

In summary, the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone stands out as the most invisible, professional-grade, true cardioid microphone available, offering unparalleled sound quality, adaptability, and comfort for performers and speakers alike. Whether on a live stage or in a presentation setting, this DPA Microphone is the definitive choice for those who refuse to compromise on audio excellence.
