DPA 4288-DP-F-B10-LE

The 4088 CORE+ Capsule in an Ultra-Light Earset Version

The 4288 CORE+ combines a directional capsule known for its precision with a single-ear earset architecture designed to remain stable and comfortable on stage. This combination aims for a clear goal: to maintain a clear, consistent, and realistic vocal presence while remaining discreet enough for performances, speeches, and demanding environments.

In practice, directionality helps better isolate the voice and facilitates sound reinforcement work while preserving the natural character of the timbre. The result is a microphone tailored for contexts where clarity and consistency are paramount, even when the user moves, turns their head, or switches from speaking to singing.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This directional earset microphone is particularly suited for vocal performances (singing, musical theater, amplified choirs), spoken interventions (conferences, places of worship, corporate events), and productions where an intelligible, stable, and easy-to-mix voice is expected. Its ability to handle high levels makes it a safe choice for powerful voices and artists who project, without compromising signal cleanliness.

Thanks to its lightweight wear and flexible boom, it is also suitable for users who need a microphone "on" at all times: presenters, coaches, actors, technical speakers, or any situation where a handheld microphone would be restrictive.

CORE+ Technology, Ergonomics, and Wireless Compatibility

CORE+: Transparency and Detail Control

CORE+ technology is at the heart of the 4288's sound signature: it aims for a cleaner and more detailed reproduction to maintain clear diction and natural singing. This approach is especially appreciated when the voice must remain intelligible in a dense mix or when seeking a recording that limits equalization adjustments.

120 mm Flexible Boom: Precise Placement, Consistent Sound

The 120 mm boom offers a good balance between discretion and ease of placement. Its flexibility helps position the capsule at the ideal point to achieve a stable level and consistent tone while adapting to the user's morphology and stage habits. The result: fewer volume variations when the user moves and a more predictable sound capture for the sound engineer.

Left/Right Mounting and Stage-Oriented Design

The system is designed for left or right mounting, facilitating integration into staging, monitor placement, or costume constraints. The microphone is intended to be lightweight and comfortable over long periods while maintaining reliable hold during movement.

Moisture Resistance and Wireless Integration

In real conditions (heat from stage lights, exertion, long performances), the moisture resistance contributes to reliability. On the connection side, the TA4F Mini-XLR termination aligns with professional compatibility standards. The flexible adapter system allows integration with most professional wireless systems, convenient for standardizing a microphone inventory or adapting the microphone to different sound setups.
