The black d:fine Core 4188 Slim Directional Flex Earset Mic with 120mm Boom and MicroDot Connector from DPA Microphones d:fine Core 4188 Slim Earset Miccombines the sound of the d:fine 4088 directional capsule and Core amplifier in a lightweight and flexible one-ear earset that offers accurate, highly intelligible speech and plenty of headroom for loud vocals. The microphone's electret-condenser capsule provides a crisp, natural sound while its cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the wearer, picking up less background sound and helping to control feedback issues on loud stages where sound reinforcement gear is used.

The flexible design is quickly and easily taken on and off and provides a fit so light and comfortable that presenters and performers will barely notice it during conference, speech, and active live performance applications. The earset is ergonomically engineered to easily adjust and 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 ear hook, the microphone can be used on either the left or the right ear. In addition, the connector splits the cable from the microphone boom allowing you to swap out broken cables and/or microphone booms easily. The 4188 includes a makeup cover, foam windscreen, and a pop screen.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How does it compares to 4017c or 4018c sound, sensitivity, and noise rejection wise?

A: This mic is very similar to that of the 4017 mic in terms of sound quality, mic sensitivity, dynamic range, and SPL. Excellent piece for outdoor, low profile booming.

Q: 2. Is this all I need to do my microdot terminations? Thanks

A: Yes

Q: 3. Would this windscreen be compatible with the 4018b?

A: This should fit the capsule portion of the DPA 4018.

Q: 4. what is the clip that the man in video used to hold the mic onto his cloth?

A: In the video, the DPA Microphones 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Microphone is attached to a boompole at first, and then it looks like he had clipped the mic and mini boom to his clothing using a clip like the DPA Microphones CM4099 - Clamp Mount for 4099 Instrument Microphone (B&H # DPCM4099).

Q: 5. Can anyone recommend a shockmount and windscreen for this microphone?

A: An excellent kit that provides a shock mount and outdoor windscreen would be the Rycote 18cm Standard Hole Classic-Softie with Lyre Mount & Pistol-Grip Kit, BH #RYSPGK18M. Another good option would be the Auray DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount for Camera Shoes and Boompoles, BH #AUDUSM1, combined with the Bubblebee Industries Windkiller Short Fur Slip-On Wind Protector for 18 to 24mm Mics (Extra-Large, Black), BH #BUBBIWKSXL. Both of these choices would work well with the Diety S-Mi C2S.

Q: 6. I'm looking at the Cloudlifter CL-1, CL-2 (2-channel), the CL-4 (4-channel 1-up rackmount) and this CL-Z. I understand the value of a switchable high-pass filter (removing low-end rumble, etc.), but I don't understand the value of variable impedance, especially since the CL-Z appears to add a potentiometer to the signal path. Does the "knob" allow you to "tune" the mic to what sounds best to you? What are the physics behind the "Z"? Thanks for your help!

A: Each mic will have it's own resistance rating that will sound best. By being able to adjust it you can fine tune the Cloud Lifter to sound as best as it can with each mic, instead of a one size fits all option. You can also use it creatively to create sounds the mic normally would not be able to do.

Q: 7. Can you flip one of the screws so that one screws "up" and the other screws "down" or are they both locked in that position?

A: Yes, the threaded bushings on the bottom of the Gator Frameworks Mic Mount Bar can be removed with a flathead screwdriver so you can position the screws as needed.

Q: 8. I lost my foam windscreen for this mic, any recommendation for replacements?

A: Please review the following item. Auray WSF-2029 Foam Windscreen for Shotgun Microphones - (29cm) BH #AUWSF2029 • MFR #WSF-2029 https://bhpho.to/3GGDIgJ

Q: 10. Can you use the lavalier mode and connect it to an iPhone so you can use a lavalier to record audio on the iPhone?

A: Yes, the Tula Mic by Tula Microphones can be used in LAV mode with a separate lavalier microphone to record audio on an iPhone.
