An "Earset" Format Continuing a Reference Capsule
The 4288 CORE+ combines a 4088 CORE+ directional capsule known for its precision with a unique earset headset design, aimed at offering an excellent balance between discretion, comfort, and performance. This approach targets a very "voice-forward" result, ideal when clarity must remain constant despite movement, proximity to monitors, or a lively stage. The choice of a 100 mm boom provides reliable placement at the corner of the mouth while maintaining a sober aesthetic, particularly appreciated in performances, conferences, or shows.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This directional headset microphone is intended for singers, actors, speakers, masters of ceremonies, and audio professionals seeking a stable, intelligible voice microphone that is comfortable to wear for extended periods. Its directivity helps better isolate the voice and limit ambient noise pickup, an asset in events, theater, places of worship, studios, or any situation where maintaining a clear voice without excessively raising the level is desired. Thanks to its ability to handle high levels, it performs well with dynamic speech as well as singing, including powerful passages.
Features Designed for the Stage: Precision, Comfort, Compatibility
CORE+ Technology: Definition and Naturalness Serving the Voice
CORE+ technology emphasizes clean and detailed reproduction, with clear articulation and a natural timbre sensation. In vocal capture, this translates to better understood diction, more stable presence, and a sound that generally requires less correction to fit into a mix. The goal: a voice that remains intelligible when the speaker turns their head, moves, or alternates between speaking and singing.
100 mm Flexible Boom: Precise Placement, Consistent Result
The 100 mm flexible boom allows fine adjustment of the microphone's distance and angle to find the "sweet spot" between presence, comfort, and plosive control. Once the position is set, the 4288 CORE+ promotes consistent pickup, very useful for long performances, choreography, or situations where staying in front of a stand microphone is not possible.
Left or Right Wear: Quick and Intuitive Setup
The headset can be mounted on the left or right side, simplifying adaptation to the artist's habits, costume constraints, or cable routing. This flexibility is valuable in daily use, especially when multiple users share the same equipment.
Moisture Resistance: Reliability in Real Conditions
Sweat, heat from stage lights, temperature variations: on stage, moisture is a common factor. The moisture-resistant design enhances usage confidence and performance consistency by limiting issues related to stage conditions.
Mini-XLR TA4F and Flexible Adapter System: Easy Wireless Integration
With its mini-XLR TA4F termination and flexible adapter system, the 4288 CORE+ easily integrates into professional setups, notably with many wireless transmitters. This allows keeping the same headset microphone while adapting to different RF systems, providers, or venues without losing the benefits of the capsule and wearing comfort.
