DPA 4088-DC-A-B00-LH - CORE 4088 Directional Headset Mic, Black, MicroDot

The DPA d:fine 4088 is a directional headset microphone designed for stage, theatre and presentation purposes. The frame is of a slim, discreet design that can be adjusted to fit the head of the user and switched to either side of the face. The frame can also be disassembled so the mic boom can be used stand-alone for other purposes.

With a clear and open sound, the 4088 mic capsule discriminates against background and ambient stage noise thanks to its cardioid directional pick-up, meaning a cleaner signal with less stage noise colouring your sound. The headset is available in three colours.

DPA 4088 Features

  • open and natural sound
  • unequalled flexibility and stability
  • available in three colors and three sizes
