The result clearly places it at the top of DPA's \"headset\" range: a tool designed for stage, broadcast, and demanding speech applications where sound consistency and mechanical reliability are as important as audio quality. Its Red Dot award-winning headset design emphasizes the aim to offer a microphone that is both high-performing, discreet, and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and Intended Uses: Stage, Broadcast, Houses of Worship, and Conferences\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis directional headset microphone is intended for \u003cstrong\u003esingers\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eactors\u003c\/strong\u003e, speakers, and sound technicians seeking close, stable, and controlled capture. It is particularly suited to environments where background noise and feedback can quickly become critical: \u003cstrong\u003etheater\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003elive performances\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebroadcast\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehouses of worship\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003econferences\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to its directivity, it helps isolate the voice from the stage (monitors, instruments, audience) and maintain high intelligibility, even at high sound pressure levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Headset Microphone Designed for Control: Directivity, Proximity, and Discretion\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClose, natural sound and improved feedback resistance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4488 CORE+ aims for an \u003cstrong\u003eopen and natural\u003c\/strong\u003e voice reproduction. Its directional design is especially useful in dense sound environments: it \u003cstrong\u003eeffectively suppresses distant sources\u003c\/strong\u003e and improves separation between the voice and the rest of the stage. In practice, this facilitates mixing, enhances listening comfort, and helps push back feedback limits on challenging stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOptimized bass for close vocal distance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bass response is designed for \u003cstrong\u003eoptimal linearity at 2 to 3 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e from the sound source. This approach favors consistent capture when the microphone is placed very close to the mouth, while producing a more pronounced bass roll-off when moving away. This is a direct advantage for \u003cstrong\u003ereducing background noise\u003c\/strong\u003e and improving feedback robustness, especially in live environments where microphone-to-mouth proximity is a key parameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eComfort, stability, and precise adjustments for long performances\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe headset is designed to fit all head shapes with a \"one size fits all\" approach and offers support at \u003cstrong\u003e3 fixation points\u003c\/strong\u003e (above, below, and behind the ear) to stay securely in place during movement. Adjustments include \u003cstrong\u003eframe size\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emicrophone length\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eplacement\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing quick positioning of the ideal setup whether speaking, singing, or acting on stage. For a cleaner integration, the \u003cstrong\u003e90-degree adjustable cable guide\u003c\/strong\u003e helps keep the cable discreet and out of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRefined finish for stage and video\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003enon-reflective PVD finish\u003c\/strong\u003e applied to the headset frame, microphone, and capsule contributes to a more discreet appearance under stage lights and on video. Combined with a construction designed for durability, it reinforces the professional orientation of the 4488 CORE+ for intensive use on tour, in studios, or fixed installations.\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
