The beige Core 4288 Directional Flex Headset Mic, 120mm Boom with 1/8" Mini Jack from DPA combines the sound of the 4088 directional capsule and Core amplifier in a lightweight and flexible two-ear headset. It can be used when miking needs to be fast and easy, and where the person wearing the microphone will barely feel the presence of it; such as in conference, speech, and active live performance applications.

The cardioid polar-patterned Core 4288 offers a 4 dB increase in dynamic range and a 14 dB decrease in THD (total harmonic distortion) over the Legacy version and is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably. It easily 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 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 broken cables and/or transmitter connectors quickly. Finally, it includes a makeup cover, four windscreens, and a pop screen.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. does it comes with xlr?

A: No, the DPA 4097 does not include an XLR adapter. The 4097 has a built-in shockmount and 4" gooseneck that terminates with a MicroDot connector. The optional XLR adapter shown in the 4th photo is the DPA Microphones DAD6001 MicroDot to 3-pin XLR Adapter with Belt Clip (B&H # DPDAD6001BC). The DAD6001 can be attached directly to the MicroDot connector at the bottom of the gooseneck (as shown in the 4th photo) and if you want to add a cable between the gooseneck and DAD6001, you could attach the DPA Microphones CM2218B00 Heavy Duty Miniature Microdot Extension Cable - 5.9', Black (B&H # DPCM2218B00) which has MicroDot connectors on both ends.

Q: 5. New to all this and trying my best. I'd like to buy this microphone to use for filming for a YouTube show. What do I connect this to in order to capture audio while filming?

A: In addition to its high quality components, the DPA Microphones 6060 CORE Subminiature Normal Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone adds value in its versatility in connector options. Depending on your workflow and current equipment setup, this mic could be paired with a connector for a wireless mic system or hardwired into a recorder's audio input. Please email us at audio@bhphotovideo.com if you would like to have a more in-depth discussion on the options and possibilities for using the DPA 6060.

Q: 6. Is this Mic muteable?

A: The DPA Microphones 4060 Omni Boundary Layer Mic does not have an onboard mute switch but you could use a separate mute switch such as the Rolls MM11 Pro Microphone Mute/Talk Switch (B&H # ROMM11PRO) or the Rolls MS111 Mic Switch - Latching or Momentary Microphone Mute Switch (B&H # ROMS111).

Q: 7. Is there a Sony version of this microphone? I don't see any listing for Sony. I understand that the Sony wireless mic's have a different pin configuration for power.

A: What you could do is get the DPA Microphones 6060 CORE Subminiature Normal Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone - Black (B&H # DP6060OCUB00) with a Microdot connector, not packaged with any adapter, then purchase the compatible Sony adapter separately. For the Sony adapter, you can use the DPA Microphones DAD6019 Microdot to 1/8" Mini Connector for Sony Transmitters (B&H # DPDAD6019) or the Deity Microphones DA35S Microdot to Locking 3.5mm Adapter for Sony Transmitters (B&H # DEKSMDTDA35S). The DPA adapter is made in Denmark and the Deity adapter is made in China. Both adapters will work to enable compatibility with a Sony transmitter. When purchased separately, the 6060 CORE with the Microdot connector and DPA's Microdot adapter for Sony come out to the same price as the 6060 CORE that comes packaged with the Sennheiser adapter.

Q: 8. This has two 3.5mm TRS plugs. What Y Cable do you recommend to convert this to (a) a 3.5mm TRRS socket on my laptop, and to a 2.5mm TRRS socket on my phone?
