The 4088 CORE Directional Headset Microphone from DPA Microphones offers an open and natural sound, making it ideal for both spoken word and vocal performance applications. This mic provides excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations. It efficiently suppresses distant sound sources making it perfect for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. In high-SPL events, or when feedback is a concern, this microphone will tackle these challenges with ease. The bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 1" from the sound source, meaning that the bass roll-off will be relatively prominent at a greater distance. The smooth and elegant design of the 4088 Directional Headset Microphone makes it an ideally invisible head-worn true cardioid microphone.
