These are the most advanced headsets - secure, durable and flexible - for segments including: Theatre, Broadcast, House of Worship and Conferencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4488 CORE Directional Headset Microphone offers an open and natural sound making it ideal for both spoken word and vocal performance applications. It provides excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations. It efficiently suppresses distant sound sources making it perfect for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns. The bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 2-3 cm (1 inch) from the sound source. This means that the bass roll-off will be relatively prominent at a greater distance - a paramount factor when it comes to rejection of background noise and in the fight to avoid feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnically advanced mechanical headset mount construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-size-fits-all Headset is the most advanced construction on the market. It ensures comfort, even during long-term wear, but does so without sacrificing security. Its form grips gently and snuggly around the head and is easily adjustable. The spring mechanisms that grip around the ears are gentle, yet firm enough for you to feel secure during your performance. The Headset can also be customized on site to suit individual performers for perfect fit. These characteristics are also the reason why it was awarded the prestigious Red Dot award in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-size fits all, adjustable frame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headset frame is made of stainless steel and treated with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating that makes it extremely durable. It can tolerate high temperatures and is resilient against impact and abrasion. The frame is one-size fits all with a simple adjustment mechanism for quick and easy resizing. Anatomically correct, it fits snuggly and comfortably around the head thanks to its unique shape. The entire mic has a pleasant matte look due to the coating, making the entire headset look small and less obtrusive than other headset solutions. Furthermore, it adds nothing to the size of the microphone, as the PVD is extremely durable but at the same time extremely thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2-way adjustable boom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boom can easily be adjusted so that it sits perfectly at the corner of the performer's smile (the optimal placement of a headworn mic). Not only can the boom be extended \/ shortened, but it can also be pivoted up and down at a fixed point below the ear (no more bending the boom). An anti-rotating mechanism designed into the boom shape, prevents it from rotating. A sliding lock system ensures that the boom is locked into the desired position. The entire boom can be detached at a point below the ear and moved from the right to left side of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have also added a service connector at the end of the boom pole so that the boom and cable can be replaced independently if needed. The service connector is well-protected by a plastic cover that slides over the gold-plated connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePVD-treated mic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beige and brown versions of this mic are treated with a surface that mimics the color of the boom and adds a very distinct expression of the entire headset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3-point ear grips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ear grips on our new headset consist of some amazing technology. Most headsets have either a 1- or 2-point gripping system - resting on top of the ear or (sometimes) gripping below the ear. This headset relies on a 3-point gripping system - adding a support area behind the ear pressing gently inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis not only makes the headset sit more securely around the head even in jostling situations, but it also makes it extremely comfortable to wear even over long periods. Furthermore, the advanced, ergonomic shape of these ear grips conforms to the shape of the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90° cable management system\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headset has its cable guide directly at the back of the headset frame, so that you can easily organize the cables to run unobtrusively down the back of the performers. The cable guide slides from side to side, so it can be moved out of, for example, the camera view. The special construction also separates the cables from the boom movement, which ensures that cables are not pulled on when the boom is moved. This helps ensure that the mic cable have a long life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is often the weak spot on these types of mics, but we have opted to use the same size cable (Ø 1.6 mm (.06 in)) as usual. They are extremely rugged, do not become entangled and are equipped with an inner core made of Kevlar that withstands rough pulls and are the highest standard on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable, capsule and boom design, ensure immunity to noisy wireless devices. Headsets are typically connected to a wireless belt pack and we offer a comprehensive mix of adapters to suit the many wireless transmitters available. When used with an adapter, the connector is our MicroDot, but we also offer hardwired terminations to suit the most popular systems from manufacturers such as Shure and Sennheiser. All our connectors are equipped with a rugged strain relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-size-fits-all - head sizes and shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable 3-point grip - above, below, behind the ear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily adjustable - frame size, boom length, placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90° adjustable cable guide - keeps cable out of sight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-reflective PVD surface on headset frame, boom, capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciple of operation: Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge type: Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity, nominal, ±3 dB at 1 kHz: 6 mV\/Pa; -44 dB re. 1 V\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, A-weighted: Typ. 26 dB(A) re. 20 µPa (max. 28 dB(A))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, ITU-R BS.468-4: Typ. 38 dB (max. 40 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion, THD \u0026lt; 0.5%: 137 dB SPL RMS, 140 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion, THD \u0026lt; 1%: 139 dB SPL RMS, 142 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: Typ. 116 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.
