Discover the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone, a perfect blend of superior sound quality and ergonomic design. This microphone is equipped with a 1/8" Mini-Jack Connector and a 120mm boom, making it ideal for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone integrates the renowned sound of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the lightweight and flexible d:fine Earset system. It delivers accurate and natural voice intelligibility with high-SPL capabilities, ensuring distortion-free audio even when users speak or sing into the mic.
Designed for demanding live performance environments, this microphone efficiently suppresses distant sound sources, offering excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations. It is resistant to humidity and features a flexible adapter system that fits most professional wireless systems, making it a versatile choice for various audio setups.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone is available in both earset and headset variants. The earset variant is quick to put on, making it ideal for conferences and other events where quick setup is essential. The headset variant, on the other hand, provides a secure fit, making it perfect for active performance situations.
This microphone is designed to fit any ear size and head shape comfortably. It mounts securely and is hardly visible, ensuring minimal visual impact. The boom and the ear hook can be rotated, allowing the microphone to be used on either the left or the right ear.
The microphone capsule is optimized for low distortion and humidity resistance. The bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source, ensuring a prominent bass roll-off at a greater distance. This feature is crucial for the rejection of background noise and the avoidance of feedback.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone also features CORE by DPA technology, which offers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range. This technology delivers an open and clear sound that is not evident in the specifications. All CORE by DPA microphones are IP58 certified, ensuring durability through water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic sealing, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm.
The microphone also features a unique cardioid pattern, which is most sensitive at the front and least sensitive from the sides and at the back. This pattern minimizes the bleed from other sounds on a busy stage, making it ideal for live stage performances.
The d:fine CORE 4188 microphone comes with a flexible adapter system, which allows you to switch your adapter instead of buying a new microphone when circumstances change. This microphone works with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more.
Experience the perfect blend of superior sound quality and ergonomic design with the d:fine CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex One-Ear Earset Microphone.
