DPA 4288-DP-F-B03-LE

A Voice-Oriented Reference Centered Around the 4088 CORE+ Capsule

Designed to combine the sonic signature of a 4088 CORE+ directional capsule with a single-ear headset format, the 4288 CORE+ aims for precise, stable vocal reproduction that is easy to place in a mix. This combination delivers a present and articulated sound while maintaining a lightweight fit, appreciated when moving between rehearsals, performances, and speaking engagements.

Intended Uses and Profiles

The 4288 CORE+ is intended for singers, speakers, presenters, lecturers, actors, and event professionals seeking a discreet, reliable, and consistent directional headset microphone. It is especially relevant when the voice must remain clear despite monitors, stage ambiance, or movement, while maintaining comfortable dynamics for both speech and singing.

Thanks to its "earpiece" retention and boom arm, it naturally follows head movements and limits level variations related to placement. The result: more consistent sound capture and an increased sense of control for both the user and the sound engineer.

Technology, Comfort, and Integration: Key Points

CORE+ Technology: Precision and Transparency

CORE+ technology is designed to deliver impeccable audio quality, with an intelligible, detailed, and natural voice. The goal is to preserve nuances (attack, articulation, controlled breath) while ensuring excellent handling when the user speaks loudly or sings energetically. You can work close to the capsule without the sound becoming harsh or compressed.

Lightweight, Flexible, and Reversible Headset

The lightweight and flexible design of the 4288 CORE+ promotes long-lasting comfort. Assembly can be done on the left or right, facilitating adaptation to morphology, gestures, and stage constraints (monitors, cameras, quick setup). The 120 mm boom allows precise positioning to optimize voice capture while remaining discreet.

Moisture Resistance and Wireless Compatibility

In performance, reliability goes beyond sound: exposure to moisture is part of daily life. This headset microphone is rated moisture resistant, an asset for intensive use. On the integration side, the presence of a flexible adapter system makes it compatible with most professional wireless systems, convenient for existing inventories and multi-configuration performances.
