A Modern Vocal Reference with CORE+ Technology
The 4288 CORE+ combines a directional capsule known for its precision with a single-earpiece structure, ideal when you want a very defined vocal sound without adding weight. The CORE+ technology aims to preserve the natural timbre while improving handling of strong dynamics, a crucial point on stage, in conferences, or broadcasts where the voice must remain intelligible and controlled.
Within the product range, this headset microphone positions itself as a "high-level" solution for vocal capture: faithful reproduction, good ambient sound isolation thanks to directionality, and ergonomics designed for endurance (rehearsals, sets, long performances).
Who It's For and Intended Uses: Stage, Speech, Broadcast, Worship
This headset microphone is aimed at singers, speakers, actors, lecturers, and hosts who need hands-free capture with a stable voice, even when moving their head. The directionality helps better control the environment (stage monitors, audience, ambient noise), facilitating mixing and reducing the "distant sound" sensation often associated with less precise microphones.
In practice, it excels in situations where diction and presence must remain constant: musical shows, corporate speeches, places of worship, sets, or dynamic vocal performances. Its ability to handle high SPL levels provides extra security for powerful voices and more aggressive sung passages.
Design and Performance: Precision, Comfort, and Daily Reliability
4088 CORE+ Directional Capsule: Focus on the Voice
The directional capsule puts the voice front and center by limiting off-axis sound pickup. The result: a voice that is more "forward," better consonant definition, and a useful sense of proximity for both speech and singing. Combined with CORE+ technology, it maintains a clean sound over a wide dynamic range, with excellent distortion resistance when the performance intensifies.
120 mm Flexible Boom: Quick Placement, Consistent Sound
The 120 mm boom offers comfortable adjustment range to position the capsule at the most effective spot, usually at the corner of the mouth. Its flexible nature facilitates fine tuning to achieve a uniform level and easier equalization, while maintaining a discreet aesthetic. The brown finish naturally blends with many skin tones and stage costumes.
Single-Earpiece Headband: Lightness and Freedom of Movement
The lightweight single-earpiece structure prioritizes comfort over long periods and reduces the feeling of bulk, an advantage for artists and speakers who already wear in-ear monitors, glasses, or stage accessories. The mounting is designed for left or right use, convenient to suit your preference, an already occupied earpiece, or specific staging.
Moisture Resistance and Wireless Compatibility
Designed for the realities of the stage, the 4288 CORE+ is moisture-resistant, an important feature against heat from spotlights, physical exertion, and long performances. It also incorporates a flexible adapter system advertised as compatible with most professional wireless systems, facilitating integration into existing setups and configuration changes (rental, tours, alternating transmitter brands).
