DPA 4088-DL-A-F00-LH d:fine Legacy 4088 Cardioid Headset Mic with MicroDot Connector, Beige

A miniature headset mic, DPA Microphones' d:fine™ 4088 series is an industry standard, built upon the finest of DPA's experience in microphone design and manufacturing. It's among the best sounding directional headworn microphones available today for performing talent of various sorts. Open, natural, and reliable are words that can truly accurately describe this microphone. The high quality of the microphone itself means that you'll hear the sound of the voice - not the microphone. In acoustically demanding live performance situations where background noise as well as feedback are concerns, the 4088 easily tackles these challenges. This particular model [4088-DL-A-F00-LH] is a beige-colored miniature mic with a cardioid polar pickup pattern and features DPA's Legacy technology, and is equipped with a MicroDot connector which allows wireless mic adapter interchangeability (Note: for full mic functionality, an appropriate adapter is required and sold separately; please refer to "Adapter System Flexibility" section below).

Its smooth and elegant design makes it the most invisible headworn cardioid microphone today. Sound quality, visual elegance, and versatility all blend to transform every show into the performance of a lifetime. The capsule is a pre-polarized first-order pressure gradient transducer, hidden in a small and lightweight housing, with dimensions just slightly larger than DPA's omni capsules.

Its mechanical design is based on the proven build quality of the 4066 headband microphone, and the headband mount is exactly the same, however, the boom is 3 centimeters (1") longer, allowing it to match the need for placement at the corner of the mouth. The flexibility and stability of this construction is unique and unequalled in the market.

With wireless adapters for wireless systems available from from DPA (sold separately), you get simple, affordable, and flexible options to use with the MicroDot termination. No longer are you bound to one single wireless system. So as your circumstances change, you can just swap your adapter instead of having to incur the cost of purchasing a completely new mic. And of course, after you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or other altering of sound quality.

The d:fine series of miniature microphones is designed to work with all leading wireless mic solutions via the appropriate adapter, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and many more (all transmitters as well as additional adapters sold separately). DPA Microphones' adapter system is one of a kind in the industry. It protects your investment in superb sound for years to come.
