DPA d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Mic, TA4F Mini-XLR (beige)

It also provides excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations. The microphone efficiently suppresses distant sound sources making it perfect for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.

The capsule is a pre-polarized first-order pressure gradient transducer, hidden in a small and lightweight housing. The microphone can be mounted on either the right or left side.

The mechanical design is based on the proven quality of the classic d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Headset Microphone. The headset mount is exactly the same; the boom however is three centimeters longer in order to meet the need for placement at the corner of the mouth. The flexibility and stability of this construction is unique and has no equal.

CORE by DPA MINIMIZES DISTORTION:
When the output of the microphone no longer sounds like the input, we call this distortion. Although all systems and mics add some distortion, well-designed systems and mics exhibit less distortion. By increasing the dynamic range of the mics, CORE by DPA extends the point at which the distortion is measurable. In addition, CORE by DPA lowers the general distortion heard at all levels - from soft to loud. That means a clearer more open sound across the entire microphone range.

CORE by DPA EXPANDS DYNAMIC RANGE:
CORE by DPA increases the dynamic range of d:screet Miniature and d:fine Headset Microphones up to14 dB depending on the specific type of capsule.
This gives users more flexibility by expanding the range of sounds that can be captured. In most cases, sound engineers prefer a mic with a wide dynamic range because they can use one mic to capture a wider range of sounds and in more applications.
- Increased dynamic range = Increased workable range
- Increased dynamic range = Less vulnerable to overload

CORE by DPA SOUNDS BETTER:
An increased dynamic range and less general distortion means the sounds you capture come through loud and clear. From a whisper to a scream, CORE microphones exhibit increased clarity and increase openness in the sound across all SPLs - from low to high.
