The DPA 4288-DC-F-F00-LH is a professional dual-ear directional headset microphone designed for high-SPL live environments where clarity and feedback rejection are critical. Combining the renowned 4088 directional capsule with DPA’s lightweight d:fine flex headset system, this model delivers natural vocal reproduction with exceptional gain-before-feedback.
This version features a 120mm boom, beige finish, dual-ear headset frame, and MicroDot connector for compatibility with DPA wireless adapters.
