{"product_id":"dpa-4488-dp-r-c03-417966","title":"4488-DP-R-C03","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA DPA benchmark designed for demanding environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4488 CORE+ continues the legacy of professional DPA headsets designed to deliver impeccable intelligibility where retakes are not an option: theater, broadcasting, houses of worship, conferences, and live stages. By combining the miniature 5 mm capsule, renowned for its precision, with \u003cstrong\u003eCORE+\u003c\/strong\u003e technology, this model aims for cleaner and more stable reproduction under real-world conditions, especially when on-stage sound levels rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe headset, awarded a Red Dot prize, is not just a support device: it is a true performance element. Its design prioritizes secure fit, comfort, and adaptability, ensuring the microphone position remains consistent even during movement, costume changes, or extended speaking engagements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is it for and what are its uses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis directional headset microphone is intended for users who need \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled vocal capture\u003c\/strong\u003e while keeping their hands free: actors, singers, speakers, presenters, pastors, teachers, stage managers, and broadcast teams. Its directionality makes it particularly suitable for \u003cstrong\u003eisolating the voice\u003c\/strong\u003e in busy environments (stage monitors, instruments, audience, reverberation) and enhancing feedback resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also well suited for fixed installations and mobile performances: its \"one size fits all\" design and quick adjustments allow for seamless user changes and consistent positioning from session to session, a major advantage in theater, events, and conferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCORE+ Technology and Directional Design: Control, Naturalness, Intelligibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAn open sound designed for voice\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4488 CORE+ is engineered to deliver a \u003cstrong\u003enatural and airy sound\u003c\/strong\u003e, faithfully reproducing diction and nuances. This approach is ideal for vocal applications and spoken or sung performances, avoiding the \"boxed microphone\" effect while maintaining excellent presence in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOff-axis rejection and ambient noise reduction\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its directionality, the microphone favors the voice and \u003cstrong\u003eeffectively attenuates distant sound sources\u003c\/strong\u003e. This helps maintain good intelligibility even when the environment becomes noisy and contributes to limiting feedback from monitors, instruments, or the room. In demanding live setups, this off-axis rejection is a direct ally against background noise and feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOptimized bass for close use\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bass response is designed for \u003cstrong\u003eoptimal linearity at 2-3 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e from the sound source. In practice, this encourages a close and consistent placement, typical of professional headset microphones. At greater distances, bass attenuation becomes more pronounced, a useful behavior to better \u003cstrong\u003ereject ambient noise\u003c\/strong\u003e and stabilize the system when gain must remain high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStage ergonomics: stability, adjustments, and discretion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe headset focuses on reliable fit and lasting comfort. The \u003cstrong\u003e3 points of attachment\u003c\/strong\u003e (above, below, and behind the ear) allow adjustment of stability according to morphology and context (movement, costume, glasses, in-ear monitors, etc.). The entire system is \u003cstrong\u003eeasily adjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e : frame size, microphone length, and placement to quickly find the ideal position and maintain consistent capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor visual integration, the adjustable \u003cstrong\u003e90 deg\u003c\/strong\u003e cable guide helps keep the cable out of sight. The \u003cstrong\u003enon-reflective PVD surface\u003c\/strong\u003e applied to the headset frame, microphone, and capsule reduces reflections under stage lights and improves on-camera discretion, a key point in theater and broadcasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eHF system microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003estatic electret\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edirectional headset microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eCORE+\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003evoice, speech, vocal performance\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRejection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eexcellent off-axis rejection, suitable for high sound pressure levels\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eoptimal linearity at 2-3 cm from the sound source\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eone size fits all, adapts to all head sizes and shapes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfort and stability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e3 points of attachment (above, below, and behind the ear)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eframe size, microphone length, placement\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eadjustable 90 deg, to keep the cable out of sight\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eLEMO 3-pin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enon-reflective PVD surface on the headset frame, microphone, and capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360753733907,"sku":"417966","price":984.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/450c67fd7ad61a5a3dc1e1c2ac39e2739afa2751_DPA_4488_DP_R_C03.jpg?v=1787395025","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/dpa-4488-dp-r-c03-417966","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
