About DPA Microphones d:fine Legacy 4088 Headset Mic with Mini-Jack, Small, Black

Are you seeking a professional, high-quality, and reliable microphone for your vocal performances or studio recordings Look no further than the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone. This industry-standard microphone is renowned for its open and natural sound, making it a top choice for both spoken word and vocal performance applications.

The d:fine Legacy 4088 is designed with a cardioid polar pattern, known for its superior ability to reject off-axis sound in high-SPL situations. This feature makes it an ideal choice for live performances in demanding environments where background noise and feedback are potential challenges.

This versatile microphone is not only efficient in suppressing distant sound sources but also boasts a bass response designed for optimal linearity at 2-3cm (1") from the sound source. This ensures a prominent bass roll-off at greater distances, a key factor in rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback.

The d:fine Legacy 4088 is not just about performance; it also scores high on aesthetics and comfort. Its smooth and elegant design makes it one of the most discreet head-worn cardioid microphones in the world. With a secure, dual-ear design, a small .64cm (.25") diameter, and a lightweight build of just 14g (.5 oz), it ensures comfort even when worn for extended periods.

The microphone can be conveniently mounted on either the right or left side, with the boom being 3cm (1") longer than the omnidirectional version, perfectly matching the need for placement at the corner of the mouth to avoid "popping".

The d:fine Legacy 4088 is known for its clear, consistent, and robust performance across a wide dynamic range, exhibiting low distortion across all SPLs. Its unique DPA capsule technique offers perfect sound stages by reducing the sensitivity to sounds coming from the sides or the rear of the mic, without colorizing the sound.

The microphone's adapter system is compatible with most professional wireless systems, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness. You can switch your adapter as per your needs without compromising on sound quality or investing in a new microphone.

In summary, the d:fine Legacy 4088 Directional Headset Microphone is a durable, high-quality, and versatile choice for any professional vocal application, be it live performances or studio recordings. Its superior sound quality, comfort, and flexibility make it a reliable choice for performers and recording artists alike.
