The beige 4488 CORE from DPA is a lightweight cardioid headset microphone with an advanced, completely adjustable, stainless steel headset mechanism. The visually discreet, dual-ear design offers a very comfortable wearing experience for presenters and performers while providing broadcast-quality sound up to the demanding standards of theater, TV, and live event professionals.

The 4488 fits the wearer by using 3-point ear grips with spring mechanisms that grip comfortably above and below the ears and to the side of the head for added security. The 2-way adjustable boom system—length and height—features an anti-rotate mechanism that makes it easy to position the tiny 5mm mic capsule for optimal sound quality. A sliding lock mechanism secures the boom positioning. In addition, the 90° cable management system safeguards the cable from stress and directs it down the wearer's back, where it can't be seen.

DPA's CORE technology is at the heart of the electret-condenser capsule, providing an ultralow noise floor and wide dynamic range. With an SPL rating of 144 dB, the microphone is more than capable of handling loud speakers, vocalists, and presenters to deliver clean, transparent, and reliable sound for critical performances and presentations.

The 4488 CORE is powered by 5 to 10V plug-in power from a wireless transmitter and features a modular design using a Microdot output connector. This version includes a locking 3.5mm adapter for use with wireless transmitters and recorders wired for Sennheiser compatibility. A foam windscreen and carrying case are also included.

Modular System Featuring Microdot Connector with Locking 3.5mm Adapter
Compatible Transmitters
  • Sennheiser: Works with Sennheiser transmitters equipped with a locking 3.5mm connector, including the Evolution (ew), XSW-D, and SpeechLine (SL) Series
  • The modular design allows you to adapt the 4488's Microdot connector to a wide variety of transmitters simply by purchasing the compatible adapter—saving you the expense of buying another microphone
  • Optional XLR adapter: The DAD6001 Microdot to 3-pin XLR Adapter (available separately) allows you to power the 4488 from 12 or 48V phantom power for wired applications
A Broadcast-Quality Headset for Demanding Professionals
  • The 5mm capsule with DPA CORE technology provides low noise floor and wide dynamic range for outstanding sound quality with an open an natural sound.
  • Side-address mic capsule's cardioid pickup pattern captures audio from the source directly in front of the microphone and delivers consistently excellent sound quality, whether the boom is worn on the right or left side.
  • Cardioid pickup provides excellent off-axis rejection in high-SPL situations and efficiently suppresses distant sound sources making it perfect for demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback are concerns.
  • Bass response is designed for optimal linearity at 1 inch from the sound source, with more bass roll-off at greater distances—a paramount factor when it comes to rejecting background noise and avoiding feedback.
  • Handles loud speakers and vocalists at SPL levels up to 144 dB.
  • One-size-fits-all, dual-ear headset fits a wide variety of head sizes securely and comfortably.
  • 2-way adjustable, non-reflective boom with locking system.
  • Unique, comfortable 3-point gripping system above, below, and behind the ear.
  • 90° cable management constructed to guide the cable and minimize cable breaks.
  • IP58-certified for dust and moisture resistance.
  • Water-Repellant Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) nano-coating of the cover and housing protects mic yet allows mic and cable to stay extremely thin.
  • Hermetic sealing protects the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic.

A Lungful of Freedom
Size: 9.7" x 9.3" x 1.8"
Dateline: The Passenger-Side Footwell of a Toyota Venza, Sunday Night. We spend our lives in sealed metal boxes, hurtling through a thick, invisible soup of our own collective filth. A foul cocktail of exhaust fumes, road dust, tire particles, and whatever strange, pollen-based miasma the world decides to throw at us on any given day. To breathe that poison in, unfiltered, is an act of slow, unwitting suicide. You need a line of defense. A gatekeeper for your own lungs. Enter the Bosch 6055C HEPA Cabin Air Filter. It is not a glamorous part. It is not a performance upgrade that adds horsepower or prestige. It is a simple, pleated rectangle of paper and charcoal, a humble guardian destined to live out its days in a dark plastic cave behind your glovebox. But its mission is a noble one. The replacement process is a moment of pure, unadulterated, five-minute victory over the dealership's service department. You pop open the glovebox, you unclip the old filter tray, and you pull out the old soldier. And what you find is a horror show. A grey, matted testament to the unseen war it has been fighting on your behalf, choked with leaves, dirt, and the ghosts of a thousand diesel trucks. It is the face of the enemy. You unwrap the new Bosch filter. It feels solid, well-made. The pleats are clean and numerous. I laid it side-by-side with the outgoing Denso filter—a brand that supplies the automakers themselves—and I could find no meaningful difference. The quality was equal. The construction, robust. This was no flimsy, cut-rate pretender. This was a serious piece of hardware from a serious company. You slide the clean, white Bosch into the tray, snap it back into its dark little home, and close the glovebox. The deed is done. You have performed a life-saving transplant on your vehicle's respiratory system in less time than it takes to listen to a single pop song. And the value… the value is the sweet, sweet punchline. For a fraction of what a dealership would charge you for the same simple service, you have installed a top-tier, HEPA-grade filter from one of the most respected names in the business. You have guaranteed yourself a clean, breathable bubble of personal space as you navigate the toxic jungle of the modern roadway. This is not just a filter; it's a small, affordable act of rebellion. It’s a declaration that you, and you alone, are the master of the air you breathe. It is a simple, effective, and profoundly satisfying piece of gear. Highly recommended.

Great Upgrade to your Cabin Filter. Fits 2018 Subaru Outback
Size: 9.7" x 9.3" x 1.8"
This is a great filter upgrade to your cabin filter. This is better than the Subi standard part. Fits my Subaru outback. NOTE: Subi marks their filter with an 'up' arrow; however, this filter is marked with a 'airflow' direction. Direction of air flow is toward the blower motor so it will point downward when you install it.

Air flow direction
Size: 9.7" x 9.3" x 1.8"
Good product. Fits fine. This is not a Toyota part so Air Flow Arrows on filter should face down in a 2015 Toyota Rav4.
