Professional Headset Microphone for Live Performance and Broadcast
The DPA 4488 CORE+ Directional Headset Microphone is designed for performers, presenters, and broadcasters who demand pristine audio quality and a secure, comfortable fit. This lightweight cardioid headset microphone delivers clear, natural sound while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for stage performances, television, conferences, and theater applications. Its durable, adjustable frame ensures a snug fit, keeping the microphone in place during dynamic movements.

CORE+ Technology for Unmatched Audio Clarity
Equipped with DPA’s CORE+ technology, this headset mic offers an extended dynamic range, reducing distortion while maintaining an incredibly low noise floor. It handles high sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL, ensuring that even the most powerful voices are captured with clarity and accuracy. Whether used for public speaking, live performances, or professional broadcasting, this microphone delivers a transparent and true-to-life sound.

Secure and Adjustable Fit for Maximum Comfort
Designed with a dual-ear, one-size-fits-all adjustable frame, the 4488 CORE+ headset offers a comfortable and secure fit for extended wear. Its three-point gripping system provides stability by gently pressing against the head above and below the ears, ensuring the microphone remains in place during energetic performances. The stainless steel frame is treated with a PVD coating for enhanced durability, making it resilient against heat, impact, and wear.

Customizable Boom Arm for Optimal Positioning
The two-way adjustable boom arm allows users to position the microphone precisely where needed for optimal sound capture. It can be extended or shortened, tilted up or down, and securely locked into place with an anti-rotating mechanism. The boom can be detached and reattached on either side of the headset for left or right placement. Additionally, a service connector at the end of the boom pole enables independent replacement of the boom and cable if needed.

MicroLock Connector for Secure and Flexible Wireless Use
The DPA 4488 CORE+ features a MicroLock connector, designed for a secure and wear-resistant connection that prevents accidental disconnection. This version is compatible with a variety of wireless transmitters via separately available adapters, allowing users to integrate it seamlessly with different audio systems. The MicroLock system is fully backward-compatible with MicroDot connectors, offering even more flexibility.

Engineered for Durability in Demanding Environments
With an IP58 certification for dust and moisture resistance, the 4488 CORE+ headset is built to withstand the challenges of live performance and professional use. The microphone housing is nano-coated for added protection, while the Kevlar-reinforced cable ensures long-lasting durability. A 90º cable management system minimizes stress on the cable, preventing tangling and extending its lifespan.

Directional Pickup Pattern for Superior Isolation
The cardioid pickup pattern of the 4488 CORE+ effectively isolates the speaker’s voice from surrounding noise, making it an excellent choice for loud performance environments. Included with the microphone are two interchangeable boost grids: a Soft-Boost Grid for a gentle 3 dB high-frequency lift and a High-Boost Grid for a more pronounced 10 dB boost, allowing users to tailor the sound to their preference.
