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

A professional-grade solution for audio recording and performance, the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone with MicroDot Connector is a small, beige, and durable device known for its high-quality sound capture. Designed specifically for presenters and vocal applications, this microphone features a cardioid polar pattern that effectively minimizes background noise, focusing on the sound of the speaker or performer.

The d:fine Legacy 4088 is a versatile and reliable microphone that offers an open and natural sound, making it perfect for both spoken word and vocal performances. Its excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations efficiently suppresses distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

This lightweight and flexible microphone is easy to mount on either the left or right side, offering convenience and comfort for long periods of use. Resistant to humidity, it's designed to perform optimally in various conditions. The microphone's flexible adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, adding to its versatility.

The d:fine Legacy 4088'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 microphone's smooth and elegant design makes it one of the most discreet head-worn true cardioid microphones in the world.

The secure, dual-ear design of this microphone, along with its small .64cm (.25") diameter, allows for discreet use in various performing talent applications. The boom is 3cm (1") longer than on the omnidirectional version, matching the need for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".

The legacy d:fine 4088 is known for its clear, consistent, and robust performance across a wide dynamic range, exhibiting low distortion across all SPLs. Its cardioid, or directional, microphone design offers the most sensitivity at the front and is least sensitive from the sides and at the back, making it ideal for capturing the focused sound of an instrument or voice on a busy stage.

The d:fine, d:screet, and d:vote series of miniature microphones work with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more. DPA Microphones' unique adapter system protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
