Following the legacy of the 4088 capsule, enhanced by CORE+
The 4288 CORE+ combines an ultra-light single-ear earpiece with the renowned sound signature of the 4088 directional capsule, enriched by CORE+ technology. This combination aims for a simple goal: to offer maximum intelligibility and faithful vocal timbre in demanding contexts (stage, conference, studio), while maintaining quick setup and comfortable wear over time.
A headset microphone designed for voice, from spoken word to singing
This headset microphone is intended for speakers and artists who need a stable mic close to the mouth, capable of tracking level variations without "pumping" or saturating. It is particularly suitable for vocal performances (theatre, musical theatre, live), speaking engagements (conferences, corporate events, places of worship), and environments where a precise and intelligible voice is required, even when the stage is dynamic and the distance to the microphone must remain constant.
Comfort, stability, and performance: key points
Directional capsule: a present voice, better isolated
The directional capsule helps prioritize the voice and better manage surrounding sound sources. The result is clearer diction and a more "forward" sound, useful when the sound environment is busy or when close capture is required on stage.
100 mm flexible boom: quick and precise placement
The 100 mm flexible boom allows fine adjustment of the microphone position to find the right balance between presence, naturalness, and plosive management. Once placement is set, stability is maintained, ensuring reliability for both speech and singing.
Left/right mounting: one headset, multiple preferences
The 4288 is designed for easy left or right mounting. This versatility is ideal for technical teams, rental fleets, or simply to adapt to the user's comfort (implantation, hairstyle, in-ear monitors, foldbacks, etc.).
MicroLock, humidity resistance, and pro wireless compatibility
With MicroLock, the connection is designed to remain reliable under intensive use. The headset microphone is also humidity resistant, a real advantage in real-world conditions (stage heat, long takes, consecutive performances). Finally, the flexible adapter system facilitates integration with most professional wireless systems, convenient when switching between different fleets or stages.
