The beige Core 4288 Directional Single-Ear Headset Mic with Hardwired 3-Pin LEMO Connector from DPA Microphones is designed for theater and broadcast applications, and can be mounted on either the left or right ear, depending on your preference. The mic features the 4088 cardioid capsule and the Core microphone amplifier delivers a 14 dB increase in dynamic range over the previous Legacy model. It can be used for both singing and speaking applications and the capsule is optimized for low distortion as well as humidity resistance.

The 88 cardioid headset microphone is available with single- or dual-ear mounts and offers fast and easy mounting. This single-ear headset is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably around the head. The mic adjusts to fit any ear size and head shape while at the same time it mounts securely and is hardly visible. In addition, the connector splits the cable from the microphone boom allowing you to quickly swap broken cables and/or wireless connectors.

Q: 10. 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.
