Product details
The classic d:fine 4088 headband microphone with directional characteristics is the industry standard for professional headband microphones. Its open and natural sound makes it the ideal choice for speech and singing.
This microphone offers excellent off-axis signal rejection at high sound pressure levels. It effectively suppresses distant sound sources, making it perfect for demanding live performances with potentially problematic background noise and feedback. At high sound pressure levels or in the presence of feedback, this microphone handles such challenges effortlessly. The bass response has been designed for optimal linearity when positioned 2–3 cm from the sound source. This means that the low-frequency attenuation will be relatively noticeable at a greater distance—a very important factor in reducing background noise and combating feedback.
The straightforward and elegant design of the d:fine 4088 headband microphone with directional characteristics makes it the most discreet headband microphone with true cardioid pattern available worldwide. This microphone, featuring a secure dual-ear design, is suitable for countless performance applications. With a diameter of just 0.64 cm, it is extremely discreet. And weighing only 14 g, it can be comfortably worn for extended periods. The microphone can be attached on either the right or left side.
