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 TA4F adapter compatible with Shure transmitters. A foam windscreen and carrying case are also included.

Modular System Featuring Microdot Connector with TA4F Adapter
Compatible Transmitters
  • Shure: Works with Shure transmitters equipped with a TA4M connector, including the AD1, ADX1, AXT100TA4M, BLX1, GLXD1, MXW1, PGXD1, QLXD1, SLX1, SLXD1, ULX1, and ULXD1. Also supports Line 6 and TOA transmitters
  • 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.

My dog's favorite toy to date
Color: Blue
Heavy duty material that my dog has not destroyed. The vibrating ball inside is made of hard plastic, so beware if your dog likes to shake their toys, it definitely hurts to get whacked by this. The velcro keeping the ball inside is also heavy duty and takes a lot of strength to open. All in all, its a great toy and one of my dog's favorites.

Good enough.
Color: Blue
A little smaller than I thought and the battery doesn't last too long. But my puppy enjoys it enough. It is holding up well to her teeth as well.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Green
I was NOT expecting my dog to like this toy, but she loves it! The legs are stretchy and the body vibrates. The battery lasts about a month.

Great interactive toy. Worth the price.
Color: Blue
Our Lab absolutely loves it. She throws it all over the house. It’s so fun to watch her play with it. It’s by far her favorite toy right now. It’s easy to charge and came with charging cable. It has a button to turn off and on and a couple different speeds. My parents got her a different one for Christmas and since she loved it so much we decided to get her another one. It’s pretty durable too. She normally rips through toys pretty quickly and both of the ones she has are still in good shape. No rips or tears. She hasn’t tried just chewing on it like she does her squeaky toys. She just throws it all around the house and chases it.

Fun, enticing dog toy. As stated in description it won’t hold up for aggressive chewers
Color: Blue
Rating this based on description. My dog loved this toy. It was smaller than I had pictured in my head, but that was on me. I did read the description ahead of time, which clearly states this is not for aggressive chewers. My dog is trained not to rip toys apart so I wanted to give this a shot, but i guess just her jaw strength and teeth were too much. She carried it everywhere. I turned it on periodically. The movements are small, but enough for her to be captivated with the toy. It did mostly survive for about a day before I needed to take it away due to the Velcro opening. Once it started to pull apart she did chew a piece of the Velcro off. It might be helpful with a flap over design covering the Velcro. I have a singing Santa decoration like this where the Velcro is covered up and I have to pull it back a little to get to the Velcro opening. The gaps on the sides of the closure are a bit to large making it tempt my dog to pull and open it up. I wish there was a more durable option that could hold up to aggressive chewers, but this product was clear about that in the description. I think the opening to the batteries could use some improvement. Granted I do not have the perfect answer to fix this, but I am also not a toy designer.
