DPA d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Mic, Beige, MicroDot

The DPA d:fine CORE 4088 Directional Headset Microphone in beige with a MicroDot connector is the go - to choice in the professional headset mic industry. It delivers an open and natural sound, making it great for both spoken word and vocal performances. In high - SPL situations, it offers excellent off - axis rejection. It efficiently suppresses distant sound sources, which is perfect for live performance settings where background noise and feedback are issues. The d:fine 4088 has a smooth and elegant design, making it the world's most discreet head - worn cardioid microphone. Its pre - polarized first - order pressure gradient transducer capsule is hidden in a small and lightweight housing, and it can be mounted on either the right or left side. Technical specs include a cardioid directional pattern, a pressure gradient operating principle, a pre - polarized condenser cartridge type, a frequency range of 20 Hz - 20 kHz, and more. It weighs 14 g (0.5 oz) including cable and MicroDot connector, with a microphone diameter of 5.5 mm (0.25 in) and length of 11 mm (0.5 in), and a 1.2 m (3.9 ft) cable of 1.6 mm (0.06 in) diameter.

Using the DPA d:fine CORE 4088 is a breeze. First, decide which side (right or left) you want to mount the microphone on. Then, attach it to your headset. For power, if you're using a wireless system, make sure you have a power supply of at least 5 V and at most 50 V through the DPA adapter. If you use DAD6001 - BC/DAD6024/DAD4099, 48 V phantom power ±4 V will give you full performance. When using it, keep in mind that it has great off - axis rejection, so try to position it close to your mouth for the best sound. For maintenance, gently clean the microphone with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures. Also, don't pull on the cable too hard as it can damage the connection. If you're using long cables, make sure the cable length doesn't exceed 300 m (984 ft) to maintain good performance.
