Award-winning Sound in a Flexible Earset

DPA’s acclaimed 4088 capsule sounds amazing, and thanks to the d:fine CORE 4288, you can experience this incredible sound in a flexible earset system. The 4288 is a great choice for very loud sources, boasting an impressively low noise floor and bulletproof SPL handling. Benefit from compatibility with a wide range of wireless systems, thanks to DPA's flexible adapter system. The 4088 is water-resistant, hermetically sealed, and employs a dual gold-plated diaphragm, so it’s tough enough for field work. Need a discreet earset mic that can take a beating? Get the DPA d:fine CORE 4288 — it delivers.

Sub-miniature CORE technology

DPA's CORE technology packs the incredible sound of DPA's acclaimed 4088 capsule into a flexible d:fine earset system. And it sounds great — at Sweetwater we've found that these mics deliver top-shelf results with minimal distortion and amazing clarity and openness. The d:fine CORE 4288 exhibits a 111dB dynamic range, a 26dB noise floor, and yields a maximum SPL of 144dB. You'll be hard-pressed to find many mics of this size that sound this good.

Rugged microphone design

Earset mics really take a beating out in the field, and DPA took this into account when they designed the d:fine CORE 4288. It's IP58 certified, boasting a water-repellent nano-coating, hermetically sealed amplifier, and dual gold-plated diaphragm. That said, there's nothing utilitarian about the 4288 — it’s a stunning; albeit unobtrusive, piece of tech.

Flexible adapter system

The DPA d:fine CORE 4288 employs a flexible adapter system that unlocks endless possibilities. Thanks to this innovative system, you're no longer tied to a single wireless system. Instead of buying a new mic every time you switch systems, all you need to do is swap the adapter — all without any loss or change in sound quality. DPA microphones are compatible with most leading wireless solutions, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and more.

DPA d:fine CORE 4288 Features:

  • Packs the incredible sound of DPA's acclaimed 4088 capsule into a flexible d:fine earset system
  • Unprecedented headroom and clarity, with a 26dB noise floor and a maximum SPL of 144dB
  • Ideal for very loud sources — works great as a hidden head-mounted mic for theater applications
  • IP58 certified, with a water-repellent nano-coating, hermetically sealed amplifier, and dual gold-plated diaphragm
  • Flexible adapter system supplies compatibility with a wide range of wireless systems
