A headset microphone designed for stage and voice, inspired by the 4088 CORE+ capsule
The 4288 combines the renowned sound signature of the directional 4088 capsule in the CORE+ version with a single-earpiece headset format. This positioning makes it a particularly relevant choice whenever the voice needs to remain understandable, natural, and stable, while maintaining a lightweight and unobtrusive setup. The 120 mm boom optimizes microphone placement close to the mouth for consistent capture from one speaker or performance to another.
Who is this headset microphone for and what are its uses?
This directional headset microphone is intended for users who demand clean and controlled vocal capture: singers, actors, speakers, presenters, hosts, or technical teams in event production. Its single-earpiece format promotes comfort while maintaining good freedom of movement on stage or on set.
Thanks to its ability to handle high sound levels, it is also suitable when the voice quickly shifts from speaking to singing or when intensity varies greatly. In practice, this helps maintain stable and professional reproduction, with less risk of clipping and better timbral consistency.
CORE+ Technology, flexible ergonomics, and wireless integration
CORE+ Technology: clarity and precision serving the voice
CORE+ technology is dedicated to delivering reproduction that prioritizes intelligibility and naturalness. The goal is to transmit the voice with finesse, preserving articulation and dynamics for clear speech and expressive vocal performances. The capsule's directionality also helps better isolate the voice, a valuable advantage in stage conditions or on sound-equipped sets.
Flexible boom and left or right wearing
The 4288 is designed to quickly adapt to each user's habits. Its flexible boom facilitates placement and adjustment, while the left or right mounting optimizes ergonomics according to gestures, staging, or costume constraints. This type of flexibility is especially useful during performances when multiple speakers or quick changes are required.
Moisture resistance and intensive use
Moisture resistance ensures safe use during demanding performances, especially when the stage heats up, outdoors, or during prolonged use. This helps maintain reliable operation and consistent quality over time, even in contexts where sweat or ambient humidity may challenge the equipment.
Adapter system: compatibility with most professional wireless systems
For simple integration into existing setups, the 4288 relies on a flexible adapter system announced as compatible with most professional wireless systems. This allows the headset microphone to be considered in various equipment fleets, whether for live performance, fixed installation, or touring. The connection specified here is a mini-jack, convenient for many such configurations.
