DPA Microphones 4288-DP-F-C03-LE CORE+ Directional Flex Earset Mic (Brown)

Professional Headworn Microphone for Discreet, High-Quality Speech Capture

The DPA 4288 CORE+ Directional Flex Earset Microphone with a 120mm boom and 3-pin LEMO connector is built for professional speech, theater, broadcast, and presentation use. Designed for scenarios requiring superior sound in a low-profile format, this one-ear earset mic combines DPA’s renowned CORE+ amplifier technology with the focused pickup pattern of a cardioid capsule. The result is crystal-clear audio with minimal bleed and excellent rejection of ambient noise, housed in a lightweight, discreet structure that blends into the wearer’s appearance.

One-Ear Ergonomic Fit for Comfortable Long-Term Wear

This earset is crafted to comfortably hug one ear while offering full adjustability to fit different users. The lightweight construction ensures it stays secure and comfortable for long hours on stage or in the studio. The boom arm can be rotated for left- or right-side use, and the ear hook adapts to different ear shapes. This configuration includes a 120mm boom, which is optimal for most head sizes and ensures ideal microphone placement near the speaker's mouth for clear and balanced pickup.

Reliable Connection with 3-Pin LEMO Compatibility

This version of the 4288 is outfitted with a 3-pin LEMO connector, making it compatible with a wide variety of professional wireless systems from top brands. Whether you’re working with broadcast transmitters or live event gear, this mic integrates easily into existing setups. The modular construction of the microphone also means the cable is detachable and easily replaceable—great for fast fixes and long-term maintenance.

CORE+ Amplifier for Wide Dynamic Range and No Distortion

At the heart of this earset is DPA’s advanced CORE+ amplifier technology, which enhances clarity and minimizes distortion throughout the full dynamic range. This mic handles up to 134 dB SPL RMS and peaks at 137 dB SPL before any audible distortion, making it a strong choice for both soft-spoken presenters and energetic performers. CORE+ ensures that even in demanding environments, the microphone performs with consistent accuracy and transparency.

Directional Cardioid Pattern for Focused Sound Pickup

The cardioid pickup pattern isolates the voice by rejecting background noise and feedback. This is especially beneficial in live stage environments, conference settings, or venues with high ambient levels. Even if the speaker shifts slightly, the mic retains consistent frequency response and tonal quality, keeping the sound natural and intelligible without the need for constant adjustments or EQ compensation.

Built-In High-Frequency Boost for Speech Intelligibility

To enhance vocal presence and clarity, the 4288 includes a gentle 4 to 6 dB boost in the 15 kHz range. This subtle equalization lift makes voices sound more articulate and intelligible, which is particularly useful for spoken word in live or recorded situations. It’s an essential feature for speakers, trainers, and performers who rely on clear diction and impactful delivery.

Durable Construction with Protection from Moisture and Dust

Engineered for daily use in real-world conditions, the 4288 boasts IP58 certification, offering resistance to moisture and dust. The cable is reinforced with Kevlar for added toughness, reducing the risk of wear-related failure during active use. Whether used on stage, in studios, or on the go, this mic is built to last without compromising on audio quality.
