The d:fine™ Series of headsets has the leading position when it comes to head worn microphones. Combining pristine audio quality with unique and simple mechanical solutions alongside an extensive accessory line.

The d:fine™ Slim Directional Headset Microphone rejects side and background noise while creating higher separation from nearby sound sources. This improves the gain-to-feedback ratio and gives more channel control. Yet natural voice intelligibility is preserved. The mic also has very high SPL capabilities. You can both speak and sing into the mic with no hint of distortion.

Windscreens, a capsule protection cap, a cable clip (to anchor the cable to your clothing) and a color-coded cable clip (offering easy recognition of a specific headset among many) are included.

Legacy or CORE – the choice is yours

The legacy d:fine™ Slim Directional has always been, and still is, one of the most clear, consistent and robust miniature microphones you can find on the market. It is known for working across a wide dynamic range as well as exhibiting low distortion across all SPLs. But, if you need to squeeze a little more performance out of your mics, choose CORE. The d:fine™ CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Headset Microphone gets a14 dB increase in both THD and Dynamic range: 

Total harmonic distortion: < 1% THD up to 137 dB SPL peak
Dynamic range: Typ. 111 dB

CORE availability

The d:fine™ CORE 4188 Slim Directional Flex Headset Microphone is available from April 2018 with:

  • 120 mm boom in beige, black and brown with either MicroDot, 3-pin LEMO, TA4F Mini-XLR or Mini-Jack termination.
  • 100 mm boom in beige, black and brown with MicroDot termination.

Flexible Adapter System

The adapters for wireless systems give you flexible, simple and affordable possibilities. You are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter, instead of incurring the cost of a whole new microphone. And when you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.

The d:fine™, d:screet™ and d:vote™ series of miniature microphones work with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Zaxcom and many more. DPA Microphones’ ingenious adapter system is one of a kind in the industry. It protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
