DPA Microphones 4488-DC-R-C03 CORE Cardioid Headset Microphone (Brown)

Professional Directional Headset Microphone for Clear and Focused Audio
The DPA 4488 CORE Directional Headset Microphone is designed for professionals who need precise vocal capture with minimal background noise. Featuring a compact 5mm cardioid capsule, this headset mic focuses on the speaker's voice while reducing ambient sound, making it ideal for stage performances, live presentations, and broadcast applications. The dual-ear design provides stability and comfort for extended wear, ensuring a secure fit even during active performances.

Advanced CORE Technology for High-Performance Sound Quality
DPA’s CORE technology enhances the microphone’s dynamic range, lowers distortion, and ensures crystal-clear sound reproduction even at high sound pressure levels. With an SPL rating of 144 dB, this mic handles loud vocals and high-energy environments without sacrificing clarity. Whether used for theater productions, corporate presentations, or live broadcasting, the 4488 CORE delivers consistently transparent and natural audio.

Durable and Comfortable Stainless Steel Headset Design
Built for professional use, the 4488 CORE headset features a lightweight yet durable stainless steel frame. The adjustable, one-size-fits-all design ensures a snug and comfortable fit, while the unique 3-point gripping system provides superior stability. The stainless steel construction is treated with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating for enhanced durability, making it resistant to scratches, impact, and extreme temperatures.

Customizable Boom Arm for Precise Microphone Placement
The 4488 CORE headset is equipped with a two-way adjustable boom arm, allowing for precise microphone positioning. The anti-rotate mechanism keeps the boom securely in place, and the sliding lock system ensures stability during performances. The boom arm is fully detachable and can be mounted on either the left or right side to suit user preference.

Microdot Connector with LEMO 3-Pin Adapter for Wireless Systems
This version of the 4488 CORE includes a Microdot connector with a 3-pin LEMO adapter, making it compatible with a wide range of wireless transmitters. Designed to work with Lectrosonics, Sennheiser SK, and Wisycom MTP transmitters, the modular system allows users to swap adapters as needed, saving the cost of purchasing additional microphones for different setups. An optional XLR adapter is available separately for wired applications requiring phantom power.

Engineered for Professional Durability and Performance
The 4488 CORE headset microphone is IP58-certified, ensuring resistance to moisture, sweat, and dust. Its Kevlar-reinforced cable prevents tangling and withstands frequent handling. The innovative 90° cable management system minimizes strain, providing a clean and professional appearance while extending the microphone’s lifespan.

Directional Pickup Pattern for Focused Sound Capture
Unlike omnidirectional microphones, the cardioid pickup pattern of the 4488 CORE isolates the speaker’s voice and rejects off-axis noise. This makes it an ideal choice for live performances, conferences, and studio environments where background noise and feedback control are essential.
