Overview

Legendary sound - flexible headset

The 4188 Slim Headset Mic combines the sound of the 4088 directional capsule and a lightweight and flexible headset. It delivers sound on par with the legacy 4080 on a lightweight and flexible system.

• Headset (two ears) - Comfy and most secure option.
• Pristine audio quality
• Lightweight and flexible
• Easy mounting to the left or right
• Minimal visual impact
• Resistant to humidity
• Flexible adapter system fits most professional wireless systems

This microphone is available as an earset or headset. Earset variants are the quickest to put on and often the best choice when miking needs to be fast and easy for example for conference use. Headset variants sit more securely around the head and are ideal for active performance situations where the person wearing the headset won’t feel the presence of the microphone. Both types are ergonomically designed to fit comfortably and easily. This mic adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape while at the same time it mounts securely and is hardly visible. By rotating the boom and the earhook, the microphone can be easily used on either the left or the right ear. The connector splits the cable from the microphone boom allowing you to swap broken cables and / or wireless connectors quickly.

IP58 certified

All CORE by DPA technology microphones are IP58 certified. This durability is achieved through a number of defense mechanisms:

• Water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing
• Hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic
• Dual gold plating of the diaphragm
