About DPA Microphones d:fine Legacy 4088 Headset Mic with 3-Pin LEMO, Small, Brown

An embodiment of professional audio quality, the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with 3-Pin LEMO Connector is a reliable and versatile tool for vocal applications. Crafted by DPA Microphones, a brand renowned for its high-quality audio equipment, this microphone is designed to deliver pristine sound in demanding live performance environments.

The d:fine 4088 is a durable headset microphone that stands out for its cardioid polar pattern, which effectively minimizes background noise and focuses on the sound source. This feature makes it an ideal choice for spoken word and vocal performance applications, ensuring clear and consistent audio output even in high-SPL situations.

This lightweight and flexible microphone is easy to mount on either the left or right side, offering optimal comfort for long periods of use. Its small .64cm (.25") diameter and secure, dual-ear design allow for discreet use, making it one of the most invisible head-worn true cardioid microphones in the world.

The microphone's bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3cm (1") 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 boom, which is 3cm (1") longer than on the omnidirectional version, is designed for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping" sounds.

The d:fine 4088's smooth and elegant design is not just aesthetically pleasing, but also functional. Its unique DPA capsule technique reduces the sensitivity to sounds from the sides or the rear, offering perfect sound stages without colorizing the off-axis sound.

The microphone's adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, providing flexibility and affordability. This ingenious system by DPA Microphones ensures that you can switch your adapter as circumstances change, without any loss or change in sound quality.

In summary, the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone is a robust and reliable audio tool, known for its wide dynamic range and low distortion across all SPLs. Its cardioid nature makes it an excellent choice for live stage performances, concerts, and spoken-word events, capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice while minimizing bleed from other sounds on a busy stage.
