DPA 4488-DP-R-F10 CORE+ Directional Headset Microphone

DPA 4488-DP-R-F10 Directional Headset Microphone (CORE+, Beige)

The DPA 4488-DP-R-F10 is a professional directional headset microphone that combines legendary DPA sound quality with the most advanced adjustable headset system on the market. This model uses CORE+ by DPA technology, which ensures unparalleled sound purity, a wider dynamic range, and extremely low distortion. Unlike omnidirectional models, the 4488 features a cardioid (directional) pickup pattern, which effectively isolates the speaker's voice from ambient noise and prevents feedback, making it an ideal choice for loud stages, live events, and television broadcasts.

The microphone stands out with its unique "1-size-fits-all" construction: the frame is fully adjustable, ensuring stability and exceptional comfort for any user. Its beige color and extremely small 5.4 mm capsule allow the device to remain discreet, while the IP58 certification guarantees the highest level of protection against moisture, sweat, and dust. This configuration comes with a TA4F Mini-XLR connector, designed for direct use with popular wireless systems.
