DPA 4288-DP-F-C90-LE

The 4088 CORE+ Signature: a directional capsule that has become a reference for voice

The 4288 combines the directional 4088 CORE+ capsule with a discreet and very stable earset microphone format. The goal is clear: to achieve a precise vocal rendering with natural presence while maintaining a consistent placement in front of the mouth. Designed for demanding stage and speech applications, this combination provides a professional response where a handheld or lavalier microphone is not always as practical (freedom of movement, level stability, controlled proximity).

Who is it for and what are the uses?

This earset microphone is particularly suited for singers, speakers, presenters, actors, and hosts who need to keep their hands free while ensuring an intelligible voice, even in noisy environments. Its directional character helps prioritize the source (the voice) and better manage situations where stage volume or monitors can complicate sound capture.

In practice, it is suitable for live performances as well as corporate events, places of worship, recordings, and any setup where consistent placement is essential for a stable mix and comfortable gain.

Key Features: comfort, stability, and CORE+ performance

CORE+ Technology: impeccable audio quality

The CORE+ technology is at the heart of the 4288's sound signature: it aims for faithful vocal reproduction with excellent definition, so every word remains understandable and the timbre retains its natural character. The result: an earset microphone that integrates easily into a mix, whether speaking or singing, while maintaining a controlled sense of proximity.

120 mm flexible boom: quick placement, consistent result

The 120 mm boom offers a good balance between discretion and ease of positioning. Its flexible design allows precise adjustment of the capsule to quickly achieve a stable sound from one user to another, or from one setup to another, without wasting time on adjustments.

Ergonomics designed for the field

The 4288 is designed to simplify the lives of technical teams and artists: it is lightweight, flexible, and its mounting can be on the left or right depending on preferences, staging, or costume constraints. Its moisture resistance enhances reliability in real conditions (heat, exertion, lighting, consecutive performances).

MicroLock: easy integration with wireless systems

Thanks to the MicroLock system and its flexible adapter system, the 4288 is designed to integrate with most professional wireless systems. This facilitates deployment across multiple units, sharing between different transmitters, and adaptation to existing cabling habits.
