Following the legacy of the 4088 CORE+ capsule: a benchmark for headset microphone format

The 4288 CORE+ combines the renowned sonic character of the 4088 CORE+ directional capsule with a lighter, sleeker single-ear headset architecture. This combination aims for a clear objective: to maintain detailed and stable vocal reproduction while offering an easy-to-wear and quick-to-install solution on stage or in production. The result: a headset microphone designed for artists and speakers who want consistent sound, clear vocal presence, and stress-free setup.

Who is it for and what are its uses? Speech, singing, stage, and events

The 4288 CORE+ is intended for singers, actors, speakers, hosts, and corporate presenters who need a close, discreet microphone that is highly effective against ambient noise. Its directivity helps prioritize the voice over monitors, orchestra, or stage environment, improving clarity and facilitating mixing work.

Thanks to its ability to handle very high sound levels, it is also suitable for dynamic vocal performances: the voice remains clean even when the performer projects or sings with high intensity. This is a real advantage for maintaining a natural tone without having to "under-gain" and lose presence.

CORE+ technology, ergonomics, and compatibility: designed for performance

CORE+ Technology: signal precision and clarity

CORE+ technology is at the heart of the 4288's identity: it aims for faithful reproduction with intelligible and nuanced vocals. Practically, this translates into detailed capture of consonants and stability across distance variations, ensuring clear diction and articulated singing. This approach helps achieve a professional sound quickly, with fewer corrections and a more consistent result from one performance to another.

Directional capsule: better voice isolation

The directional capsule is a major asset when the stage is noisy or multiple sound sources coexist. It allows the voice to be brought forward by limiting off-axis sound pickup. For sound teams, it is also an effective tool to gain mixing comfort and maintain a present voice without excessively pushing the level.

120 mm flexible boom and single earpiece: quick placement, lasting comfort

With its 120 mm flexible boom, the 4288 CORE+ facilitates precise placement of the capsule at the corner of the mouth, a key area to balance presence and naturalness. The single-earpiece system adds lightness and a pleasant feeling of freedom during long sessions while maintaining secure stage fit.

The mounting is designed for left or right use to adapt to the performer's habits, hairstyle, costume, or staging constraints. This flexibility is valuable in theater, events, and broadcast where every placement detail counts.

Moisture resistance and adapter system: ready for demanding productions

The headset microphone is designed to resist moisture, a crucial feature against stage light heat, sweat, and temperature changes. It also includes a flexible adapter system, announced as compatible with most professional wireless systems, to simplify integration into existing setups and ensure continuity between rehearsals and live use.
