Speak Or Sing Hands Free With The DPA 4288-DL-F-B00-ME Directional Flex Earset Mic, 100 mm Boom, Black, MicroDotCombining the legendary sound of the 4088 Directional Capsule with the lightweight and DPA’s flexible headset system, the 4288 Directional Headset Microphone is ideal for both spoken word and vocal performance applications. It offers accurate and natural voice intelligibility and very high-SPL capabilities users can both speak and sing into the mic with no hint of distortion.This mic provides excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations. It efficiently suppresses distant sound sources making it perfect for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. In high-SPL events, or when feedback is a concern, the 4088 Directional Capsule will tackle these challenges with ease. The bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm (1 inch) from the sound source. This means that the bass roll-off will be relatively prominent at a greater distance – a paramount factor when it comes to rejection of background noise and in the fight to avoid feedback. The microphone capsule is also optimized for low distortion as well as humidity resistance.SpecificationsDirectional pattern: CardioidPrinciple of operation: Pressure gradientCartridge type: Pre-polarized condenserEffective frequency response: 20 Hz – 20 kHzFrequency range: +/-2 dB, Near field 2-3 cm (0.8 – 1.2 in)100 Hz – 20 kHz (4 – 6 dB soft boost at 15 kHz)Sensitivity, nominal, +/-3 dB at 1 kHz6 mV/Pa; -44 dB re. 1 V/PaEquivalent noise level, A-weighted: Typ. 26 dB(A) re. 20 micropascal (max. 28 dB(A))Equivalent noise level, ITU-R BS.468-4: Typ. 38 dB (max. 40 dB)Distortion, THD < 1% - Legacy: 120 dB SPL RMS, 123 dB SPL peakDistortion, THD < 1% - CORE: 134 dB SPL RMS, 137 dB SPL peakDynamic range - Legacy: Typ. 97 dBDynamic range - CORE: Typ. 111 dBMax.
