New In Rentals – DPA 4288 Directional Headset Microphone

The DPA 4288 Directional Headset Microphone is the latest addition to our extensive headset and earset microphone rental options. Known for their superior sound quality, flexibility, and durability, DPA microphones are an industry leader in many pro audio applications.

Combining the legendary sound of the 4088 capsule with DPA’s lightweight flexible headset system, the 4288 excels at both spoken word and vocal performance reinforcement applications. Equipped with CORE by DPA technology, the 4288 delivers accurate voice intelligibility with very high-SPL capabilities, all in a small format headset with minimal visual impact.

Alongside its impressive high dynamic range capabilities (up to 144db SPL), the 4288 also provides excellent off-axis rejection for use in loud stage environments. With its directional cardioid condenser diaphragm design, the 4288 helps suppress unwanted noise and sound sources, making it perfect for challenging live performances where stage volume, bleed, and microphone feedback are concerns. A lightweight, dual ear loop design gives the performer a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring the best possible signal to noise ratio by getting the mic as close as possible to the sound source– and most importantly: keeping it there. You can be confident that the 4288 will stay in place during the performance, allowing for a hands free, close-mic vocal reinforcement solution without using a lavalier microphone. Unlike lavaliers, headset microphones are not as susceptible to changes in tone due to head movement, or things like excessive handling noise when hidden within a garment or costume.

DPA’s lightweight dual ear loop headset system offers a secure and comfortable fit for most users.

In addition to their superb sound quality, all CORE microphones are IP58 certified, making them ideal for performance applications where moisture from sweat and humidity are likely.  Each microphone features a water repellent nano-coating on the cover and housing, hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier components at the core of the mic, and dual gold plating of the diaphragm for additional corrosion resistance. In opposition to other alternative, more affordable options for headsets (most of which are often considered as “consumables”), you can be confident that the 4288 will continue stand up to the most rigorous performance applications and deliver the same detailed clarity and reliability that engineers have come to expect from DPA Microphones, show after show. 

DPA’s miniature lavalier, headset, and earset microphones work with all leading wireless mic pack solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Wisycom, and many, many more. The ingenious Microdot adapter system allows for flexibility to suit your wireless system’s needs, without the need for retermination – Be sure to specify your connector type when renting or purchasing a DPA wired headset, earset, or lavalier microphone!
