DPA 4488 Directional Headset Microphone

Categories: Microphones
SKU: 4488-DP-R-B90

The 4488 is DPA’s cardioid headset microphone, built around the same 5 mm capsule technology used across the brand’s headset range and paired with a stainless steel, fully adjustable frame. It is designed for presenters, vocalists and performers who need a secure, broadcast-quality mic that stays comfortable through a full show or shift. The cardioid pattern helps it resist feedback on loud stages.

Capsule and Directivity

A cardioid pickup pattern keeps the mic focused on the wearer's voice while suppressing room noise and distant sound sources. CORE+ circuitry lowers self-noise and extends usable dynamic range compared with earlier headset generations.

Fit and Build

The frame uses a Physical Vapor Deposition coating over stainless steel for durability and a low-glare finish, with a two-way adjustable boom (length and height) and an anti-rotation mechanism to hold capsule placement steady. A 90-degree cable guide routes the cable down and out of camera view.

Applications

Theatre, broadcast, house of worship and conferencing.
