DPA 4288-DP-F-B90-LH

A renowned 4088 CORE+ capsule integrated into a lightweight headset solution

The 4288 CORE+ combines the "legendary" 4088 CORE+ directional capsule with a single-ear headset format to meet the real demands of vocal performances: stable placement, long-lasting comfort, and consistent sound despite movement. It fits into a stage and studio-oriented approach, where the priority is to achieve a clear, detailed, and controlled voice while maintaining great freedom of movement.

Who is it for and what are its uses?

The 4288 CORE+ is intended for singers, speakers, and actors who need a discreet, stable, and efficient microphone capable of remaining intelligible in noisy environments or dynamic stages. The "single-ear" format is especially appreciated when one wants to stay lightweight, quick to set up, and unobtrusive, while maintaining reliable capture for both spoken and sung voice.

It is also well suited for contexts with consecutive performances (shows, conferences, presentations, studios, events), as the flexible boom helps quickly find a consistent microphone position at the corner of the mouth, with stable levels and clear articulation.

Design and performance: clarity, level stability, and adaptability

CORE+ Technology: clean and controlled sound

The CORE+ technology is highlighted to ensure impeccable audio quality, with precise and natural vocal reproduction. The goal is to obtain a clean signal, usable in both sound reinforcement and broadcast, while maintaining excellent intelligibility even when the voice must cut through a dense mix.

Directionality and proximity: a voice that remains clear

Thanks to its directional capsule, the 4288 CORE+ emphasizes the voice and helps better manage ambient noise and stage monitors. This directionality, combined with the ability to sing or speak very close without distortion, makes it a particularly relevant tool for demanding performances where consistent sound quality is paramount.

Stage ergonomics: lightweight, flexible, and ambidextrous

The system is described as lightweight and flexible, with a 120 mm boom that positions easily. Mounting can be done on the left or right, simplifying adaptation to the artist's preferences, staging constraints, or the organization of a shared microphone inventory among multiple users.

Reliability in real conditions: moisture and wireless connections

Designed for intensive use, the microphone is moisture resistant, a key point for long performances, hot stages, and situations where diction and physical energy can challenge the equipment. The flexible adapter system aims for compatibility with most professional wireless systems, allowing integration of the 4288 CORE+ into existing setups without overhauling the entire wireless inventory. The MicroLock connection contributes to secure and field-adapted setup.
