CORE Technology for Enhanced Audio Clarity and Reduced Distortion

Its adjustable dual-ear design provides a stable and secure fit, preventing unwanted movement during presentations or performances. The innovative 3-point ear grip system ensures comfort and security, making it a reliable choice for professionals who require a discreet yet sturdy headset microphone.

Adjustable Boom Arm for Precise Mic Positioning
The 4488 CORE is equipped with a two-way adjustable boom arm, allowing users to position the microphone exactly where needed for the best audio capture. The anti-rotate mechanism prevents accidental shifts, and the sliding lock system secures the boom in place. The detachable boom can be mounted on either the left or right side, accommodating different user preferences while maintaining consistent sound quality.

Microdot Connector with Locking 3.5mm Adapter for Sennheiser Wireless Systems
This version of the 4488 CORE features a Microdot output and includes a locking 3.5mm adapter for compatibility with Sennheiser wireless transmitters, including the Evolution (ew), XSW-D, and SpeechLine (SL) series. The modular system allows users to switch adapters for compatibility with different transmitters, eliminating the need for multiple headset microphones. An optional XLR adapter is available separately for wired applications.

IP58-Certified for Moisture and Dust Resistance
Engineered for professional use in demanding environments, the 4488 CORE is IP58-certified for resistance against moisture, sweat, and dust. Its Kevlar-reinforced cable and 90° cable management system prevent tangling and minimize strain, ensuring long-term durability.

Directional Cardioid Pickup for Focused Sound Capture and Noise Rejection
Unlike omnidirectional headset microphones, the cardioid pattern of the 4488 CORE isolates the speaker’s voice while rejecting background noise and feedback. This makes it an excellent choice for presenters, performers, and broadcasters who need superior audio clarity without unwanted ambient interference.
