About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Earset Mic, Mini-Jack, 120mm, Brown

Let the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone with 1/8" Mini-Jack Connector and 120mm Boom in a subtle brown color elevate your audio experience. This high-performance microphone, designed for both spoken word and vocal performances, delivers the legendary sound quality of the 4088 Directional Capsule, combined with the flexibility and lightweight design of the d:fine Earset system.

Experience accurate, natural voice intelligibility and high-SPL capabilities without any distortion. This microphone is expertly designed to suppress distant sound sources, making it an ideal choice for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

The d:fine 4188 Directional Earset Microphone is not only about superior sound quality but also about comfort and convenience. It's easy to mount on either the left or right ear, and its minimal visual impact makes it a discreet choice for any event. The microphone is resistant to humidity and comes with a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems.

The 4088 Directional Capsule is designed to tackle high-SPL events and feedback issues with ease. Its bass response is optimized for linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances. This feature is crucial for rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback. The microphone capsule is also designed for low distortion and humidity resistance.

The d:fine 4188 is available as an earset or headset, both ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom, allowing for quick swapping of broken cables or wireless connectors. The boom length of 120mm is ideal for placement at the corner of the mouth, helping to avoid "popping" sounds.

The d:fine CORE 4188 Directional Earset features CORE by DPA technology, which provides a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology delivers an open and clear sound that goes beyond what the specifications can reveal. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.

The cardioid or directional microphone pattern of the d:fine CORE 4188 is designed for its "heart-shaped" sensitivity at the front and least sensitivity from the sides and back. This design minimizes sound bleed from other sources on a busy stage, making it a preferred choice for live performances and spoken-word events.

The d:fine CORE 4188 also features a unique adapter system for wireless systems, offering flexibility and affordability. This system allows you to switch your adapter as needed, protecting your investment in sound quality for years to come. The d:fine, d:screet, and d:vote series of miniature microphones are compatible with all leading wireless mic solutions, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and more.

In conclusion, the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone is a blend of superior sound quality, comfort, and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for professional audio needs.
