DPA 4288-DP-F-C03-LE

A Design Combining a Renowned Directional Capsule with Discreet Single-Ear Wear

The 4288 CORE+ combines the sonic DNA of the 4088 CORE+ directional capsule with a single-ear earset format designed to remain discreet and stable during movement. This approach has a clear goal: to provide extremely clear voice capture while maintaining a sense of lightness, essential on stage, in conferences, or presentations. The result is a microphone that prioritizes diction precision and timbre consistency, while remaining suited to performance constraints (consistent placement, comfort, stability).

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses? A Microphone Tailored for Voice, On Stage and Speaking

This earset microphone is intended for users who need a voice that "cuts through" instantly in the mix: singers, actors, speakers, lecturers, trainers, places of worship, corporate sets, or events where clarity is paramount. Its directivity helps better isolate the voice from ambient sounds and limits unwanted feedback, which facilitates the sound engineer's work and ensures reliable broadcast in real conditions.

Thanks to its very high SPL capabilities, you can speak and sing close to the capsule without fear of saturation or audible distortion. This is a major asset for dynamic performances where intensity varies greatly between whispered phrases and more powerful sung passages.

Key Features: Stability, Directivity, and Wireless System Compatibility

CORE+ Technology: Clean Reproduction Serving Intelligibility

CORE+ technology is designed to deliver impeccable audio quality for voice: clear articulation, natural rendering, and a sense of definition that remains consistent when the performer moves. This signature is especially appreciated when the sound capture must remain "transparent" and faithful, without excessive coloration, to preserve the voice's personality.

Directional Capsule: More Focus, Less Ambient Noise

The 4288 is based on a directional capsule derived from the 4088 CORE+. This directivity offers a concrete advantage: better focus on the source (the voice) and reduction of surrounding noise. In practice, this helps obtain a more usable signal with less corrective equalization and maintains a sense of proximity even in busy sound environments.

120 mm Flexible Boom: Precise Placement and User Comfort

The 120 mm flexible boom allows fine positioning of the capsule to quickly find the right balance between proximity, naturalness, and plosive protection. The flexibility also facilitates adjustments during rehearsals without requiring complex handling. The single-ear earset format is designed to be unobtrusive while keeping the microphone properly in place during head movements and motion.

Left or Right Mounting: Ergonomics Designed for the Stage

The mounting can be done on the left or right side, simplifying adaptation to morphology, staging, cable routing, or performer habits. This detail often improves setup speed and placement repeatability, two decisive factors during stage changes or alternating speakers.

Humidity Resistance: Reliability in Real Conditions

On stage, in conferences, or during filming, humidity (sweat, heat, temperature variations) is part of daily life. The humidity-resistant design of the 4288 CORE+ enhances usage confidence and helps maintain stable performance over time, with fewer surprises during a show.

3-Pin LEMO Connector and Flexible Adapter System: Easy Wireless Integration

With its 3-pin LEMO termination and flexible adapter system, the 4288 CORE+ is designed for easy integration into professional setups, notably in combination with most wireless systems. This flexibility is valuable for providers and equipment fleets: it helps standardize a reference microphone while retaining the possibility to use it on different RF chains according to stage needs.
