DPA 4088-DC-A-B03-LH-S

The DPA d:fine 4088 Directional Headset Mic is a cardioid pick-up dual ear headset intended for presentation and theatre settings. This version also includes DPA's legendary 4088 cardioid condenser capsule, meaning you can combine the robust performance of the 4088 mic with the modern frame of the d:fine series. Featuring a discreet design and offering pristine vocal clarity, the d:fine is a unobtrusive solution for any speech or vocal scenario.

With a directional, cardioid pick-up pattern, the mic rejects ambient, background noise to keep focus on sound coming from the mouth, increasing the gain to feedback ratio. It also has a high SPL handling, meaning it will deal with even the loudest of singers without the chance of distortion. It’s dual-ear lightweight design means the headset will stay attached during active performances or presentations and it's earhooks and boom rotate to align with either ear.
