Enhanced Audio Performance with CORE+ Technology

Incorporating DPA's CORE+ amplifier technology, the 4088 headset mic offers an expanded dynamic range and significantly reduced total harmonic distortion (THD).

The result is a transparent and detailed audio reproduction that captures every nuance of speech and vocals.

This integration allows for seamless connectivity and flexibility across various wireless setups, ensuring consistent performance without the need for additional adapters or modifications.

Durable Construction for Challenging Environments

Designed to withstand the rigors of live performance and demanding production environments, the 4088 headset mic features a moisture-resistant construction with an IP58 rating. Its robust build includes a Kevlar-reinforced cable and a double-vent protection system, safeguarding the microphone against humidity and wear. The discreet 0.25" diameter and 0.5 oz weight contribute to its unobtrusive appearance and comfortable wearability.

Precision Placement and Minimal Visual Impact

The adjustable boom arm of the 4088 allows for precise microphone placement at the corner of the mouth, optimizing sound capture while minimizing visibility. Its dual-ear design provides stability during active performances, and the headset can be easily configured for left or right-side use. The microphone's sleek profile ensures it remains unobtrusive on stage or on camera.
