A reference designed for voice: the DNA of the 4088 capsule in CORE+ version
Built around the 4088 CORE+ directional capsule, the 4288 features a performance-oriented signature: clear reproduction focused on the voice, with presence that remains intelligible even in noisy environments. The CORE+ technology aligns with this "high-end" audio quality approach, aiming for clean and detailed capture, particularly appreciated in vocal applications where articulation precision makes all the difference.
Its single-earpiece headset concept places the 4288 in a family of solutions intended for users who want to combine discretion, stability, and freedom of movement, while retaining the advantage of a directional capsule to better control what is captured around the mouth.
Who is it for and what are the uses? The ideal headset microphone for vocal performances
The 4288 CORE+ is designed for vocal applications and performance, where a handheld microphone can be restrictive and a lavalier microphone may lack proximity. It is particularly suitable for singers, speakers, actors, hosts, and presenters who need an intelligible, consistent, and stable voice, even when moving.
Thanks to its ability to handle very high SPL levels, it allows close approach to the capsule without fear of distortion: a key point for powerful voices, dynamic passages, or simply to maintain a consistent sound when the user moves slightly closer or farther from the microphone during a performance.
Comfort, precision, and flexibility: key features of the 4288 CORE+
Directional capsule: more focus on the voice
The directivity of the 4288 helps prioritize the main source (the voice) and limit unwanted sound pickup. In practice, this results in better clarity and a voice presence that feels more "forward," very useful on stage, in conferences, or any context where clean and controlled capture is sought.
CORE+ technology: impeccable audio quality
The CORE+ technology is at the heart of the 4288's sound experience. It delivers a natural and precise vocal rendering, with articulation that is easy to understand and a response tailored to professional demands. The result: you gain clarity without sacrificing musicality, whether in speech or singing.
"Single-earpiece" ergonomics: lightness and discretion
Its lightweight single-earpiece system is designed to be forgotten while remaining stable. The headset stays visually discreet while offering a pleasant sense of freedom for long performances (rehearsals, shows, presentations, events).
120 mm flexible boom: quick and precise placement
The 120 mm flexible boom facilitates adjusting the position close to the mouth to quickly find the right balance between presence, naturalness, and resistance to feedback. This flexibility also helps maintain consistent placement, essential for achieving a steady level and uniform tone.
Left/right mounting and wireless compatibility
The 4288 can be mounted on the left or right according to your preferences, gestures, or staging constraints. It also features a flexible adapter system announced as compatible with most professional wireless systems, facilitating integration into existing rigs and rental inventories.
Humidity resistance: greater reliability in real conditions
Between stage light heat, vocal effort, and temperature variations, a headset microphone is often put to the test. The humidity resistance of the 4288 CORE+ helps ensure reliable daily use, especially for sustained performances and demanding environments.
