DPA 4288-DP-F-B10-MH

A Voice Reference Powered by CORE+ Technology

The 4288 CORE+ combines the renowned sound signature of the directional 4088 capsule with a discreet and stable headset microphone format, designed for demanding vocal performances. This combination fits within a "stage and broadcast" approach: clear, articulated, and consistent rendering, while maintaining great freedom of movement. CORE+ technology aims to preserve vocal details and dynamics, especially in noisy environments or when vocal projection varies greatly.

Thanks to its single-ear earpiece concept, this headset microphone prioritizes lightness and quick setup. It integrates naturally into professional configurations, particularly when a wireless transmitter is part of the audio chain.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

The directional 4288 CORE+ microphone is intended for singers, speakers, actors, presenters, and hosts who want an intelligible, focused, and controlled voice, even in stage conditions. Its directivity helps better isolate the main source (the voice) and limit ambient sound pickup, which can facilitate mixing work and improve listening comfort in monitors.

It is also very suitable for corporate events, places of worship, conferences, and studios, whenever a reliable, discreet, and stable headset microphone is needed, capable of handling significant level variations. The left or right mounting option allows quick adaptation of the position to your morphology, staging, or playing habits.

Comfort, Placement, and Durability: A Performance-Oriented Design

100 mm Flexible Boom: Precise Placement and Consistent Sound

The 100 mm flexible boom facilitates fine positioning of the capsule to target a coherent pickup point and stabilize the sound color. Controlled placement means a more consistent voice: fewer timbre variations, better-controlled articulation, and easier presence retention in the mix, especially when the artist moves or dances.

Left/Right Mounting: Immediate Stage Adaptation

Easy left or right mounting simplifies preparation, both in rehearsal and daily use. This is a tangible advantage during performances: you adapt the configuration to the costume, monitor, camera, or stage layout without wasting time.

Moisture Resistance: Ready for Real Conditions

Between the heat of stage lights, physical exertion, and show duration, moisture is one of the most common constraints. The 4288 CORE+ is designed to withstand it, maintaining reliable performance and stable pickup throughout the performance.

TA4F Mini-XLR Connectivity and Wireless Compatibility

Equipped with a TA4F Mini-XLR connector, this microphone integrates via a flexible adapter system announced as compatible with most professional wireless systems. This is a key point for sound engineers: you maintain high-level capture quality while staying within a standard workflow (transmitter, receiver, console), with integration designed for mobility.
