DPA Microphones 4088-DP-A-C34-LH-S 4088 CORE+ Cardioid Headset Microphone

Broadcast-Quality Headset Microphone for Demanding Environments

The DPA 4088 CORE+ Directional Headset Microphone is built for professionals in broadcast, theater, house of worship, and live performance. This small headset model offers a secure dual-ear fit and incorporates DPA’s advanced CORE+ technology, minimizing distortion even in high-SPL scenarios. Designed with a locking 3.5mm adapter, it is fully compatible with Sennheiser wireless systems, delivering clean, articulate vocal pickup in dynamic environments.

Crisp Sound Without the Clutter

The 5.4mm cardioid capsule provides focused vocal reproduction with excellent off-axis rejection. It suppresses ambient noise and feedback effectively, allowing performers to be heard clearly even in noisy or reverberant venues. A subtle 4–6 dB presence boost at 15 kHz enhances intelligibility without sounding harsh, making this headset ideal for live or recorded speech and vocals.

Comfortable Dual-Ear Headset With Flexible Boom

Comfort and stability are top priorities with the 4088. The dual-ear design ensures the mic stays securely in place, even during active movement on stage. The boom is fully adjustable and can be mounted on either side, allowing precise placement near the corner of the mouth for optimal vocal capture. The headset remains virtually invisible to the audience, blending into performance attire.

Moisture-Resistant Build With IP58 Rating

Perform with confidence in humid or high-energy settings. The 4088 CORE+ is engineered with a double-vent protection system and water-resistant materials, earning it an IP58 rating for dust and moisture protection. The durable 3.9-foot cable features Kevlar reinforcement to withstand bends and pulls, making it suitable for extended use under stress.

Secure MicroLock Connection for Wireless Freedom

The included locking 3.5mm adapter makes this headset compatible with Sennheiser Evolution Wireless, XSW-D, and SpeechLine systems. DPA’s MicroLock system provides a secure, wear-resistant connection to your transmitter. It’s also backward compatible with MicroDot components, allowing users to swap adapters based on their wireless system.

CORE+ Technology Delivers Extended Dynamic Range

DPA’s CORE+ amplifier delivers pristine audio at any volume, minimizing distortion across the frequency range. It handles up to 134 dB SPL with less than 1% THD and up to 144 dB SPL with 10% THD, offering clean, natural sound even for loud performers or energetic speakers. Whether you’re on a live stage or a broadcast set, this mic maintains sonic consistency.

Reliable Performance in Every Application

Whether you're leading a worship service, anchoring a broadcast, or performing in a play, the 4088 CORE+ ensures your voice cuts through. Its cardioid pattern, extended frequency response (20 Hz–20 kHz), and robust construction make it a dependable choice for voice professionals who require clarity, comfort, and durability.
