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. The mic is compatible with various wireless microphone transmitters via a separately available adapter for the compatible transmitter. A foam windscreen and carrying case are included.

Modular System Featuring Microdot Connector with Adapter Options
Compatible Transmitters
  • Various: Works with various transmitters via a compatible adapter (available separately).
  • 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.

Slippery when wet!!!
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
“These moisturizing slippers are actually really comfortable and feel great on the feet. They’re soft, cozy, and do help moisturize while you wear them. I also think they’re a good value for the money. The only downside is that once your feet get moisturized, they can get slippery inside the slippers, so I wouldn’t recommend walking around too much in them. Better for relaxing and letting your feet soak up the moisture than for being up and moving around.”

Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
I wear a size 11.5 in ladies shoe and these just barely fit. Butttt after I put lotion on my feet and slipped these on and left them on for about 30 mins. It left my feet really soft! They work great as intended. Would buy again

Effective but may be uncomfortable
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
I have eczema on my feet and use a prescription cream that I leave on overnight. I often have a problem sleeping in socks but the silicone feels cool on my feet. The only drawback I have is the opening of the socks feel very tight around my ankles making them uncomfortable on me. I wish the opening was a bit more flexible.

Burned my already sensitive feet, too big
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
Feels icky, and the heat gets trapped and literally felt like my feet were being burned by these. The bottoms of these feel prickly and they are way too big. You have to sit still and cannot walk in them.
