DPA Microphones 4088-DC-A-F00-LH 4088 Directional Headset Microphone (Medium, Beige)

Professional Headset Microphone for Broadcast and Theater

The DPA Microphones 4088 CORE Directional Headset Microphone is a headworn condenser microphone designed for broadcast, theater, and live performance applications where speech clarity and consistent sound pickup are critical. Its directional design keeps the microphone focused on the performer’s voice, making it ideal for spoken word, musical theater, houses of worship, and on-camera use.

Directional Pickup for Clear and Controlled Audio

A cardioid pickup pattern helps reduce background noise and feedback while maintaining natural vocal tone. This focused response allows the microphone to perform reliably in loud stage environments, ensuring intelligibility even when performers move or turn their heads during use.

CORE Technology for Improved Dynamic Range and Detail

DPA’s CORE amplifier technology provides a noticeable improvement in dynamic range and reduced distortion compared to previous designs. With up to a 14 dB improvement in total harmonic distortion and dynamic handling, the microphone delivers cleaner transients, better articulation, and more natural vocal reproduction across a wide range of speaking and singing levels.

Comfortable and Discreet Dual-Ear Design

The lightweight headset frame supports left- or right-ear mounting, offering flexibility for different performers and applications. Silicone-covered ear hooks provide a secure yet comfortable fit for extended wear, while the slim 0.25-inch microphone capsule remains visually unobtrusive for stage and camera use.

Built for Humid and Demanding Environments

The microphone’s construction is resistant to humidity, making it well suited for high-energy performances and long broadcast sessions. This durability ensures consistent performance even in warm environments where perspiration and moisture are common.

Flexible Connectivity for Professional Audio Systems

A MicroDot connector allows compatibility with a wide range of wireless transmitters and wired adapters. This modular connection system makes the microphone adaptable to changing production needs without requiring additional microphones.
