DPA 4288-DP-F-F10-LE

A Headset Microphone Built Around the 4088 CORE+ Capsule

The 4288 CORE+ combines a directional capsule from the 4088 CORE+ family with a single-ear headset format to meet the demands of stage and vocal performances where every word must remain understandable. This approach emphasizes clarity, stable positioning, and the ability to handle powerful voices, while maintaining minimal visual footprint.

Within the range, this model stands out for its balance between audio quality and ergonomics : a microphone that "disappears" on the performer but whose output remains immediately usable, especially in environments where the voice must stay front and center.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

The 4288 CORE+ is a natural choice for vocal performances (singing) and all situations where the voice must remain intelligible despite ambient noise: stage, musical theater, theater, dynamic speaking, hosting, corporate events, places of worship, or interventions requiring great freedom of movement.

Its headset format maintains a constant distance between the mouth and the capsule, a decisive advantage when the performer moves, turns their head, or must alternate between spoken and sung passages. The result: a more stable level, fewer timbral variations, and a voice that stays "in place" in the mix.

Key Features: Precision, Comfort, and Compatibility

CORE+ Technology: Controlled Vocal Reproduction

CORE+ technology aims for impeccable audio quality and faithful reproduction of vocal nuances. The microphone delivers precise and natural intelligibility, facilitating equalization and vocal prominence, even in dense contexts (loud music, stage monitors, ambient noise).

Directional Capsule: Keeping the Voice Centered

Thanks to its directionality, the 4288 CORE+ helps prioritize the voice and better manage the surrounding sound environment. This feature is especially appreciated when the priority is text comprehension and presence without having to excessively increase gain.

Very High SPL Capacity: Speak and Sing Without Constraints

The 4288 CORE+ handles very high sound levels, allowing users to speak and sing without distortion under demanding conditions. This provides peace of mind for both the performer and the sound engineer: powerful passages remain clean and controllable.

120 mm Flexible Boom and Left or Right Wearing

The 120 mm flexible boom facilitates precise capsule placement to optimize the balance between proximity, comfort, and sound quality. The mounting can be done on the left or right, a practical advantage to adapt to staging, artist habits, or the presence of accessories (in-ear monitors, hairstyle, costumes).

Moisture Resistance: Designed for the Stage

Designed for real use in performance conditions, the microphone is moisture resistant. This is important for long performances, hot stages, or very active artists, where reliability is as essential as sound quality.

TA4F Mini-XLR Connector and Flexible Adapter System

Equipped with a TA4F Mini-XLR termination, the 4288 CORE+ integrates into professional setups. Its adapter system is designed to offer broad compatibility with most professional wireless systems, convenient for equipment fleets, providers, and fixed installations that need to manage multiple standards.
