DPA 6388

DPA 6388 CORE+ Directional Headset Mic

The DPA 6388 CORE+ Directional Headset Mic is a professional headset microphone with a supercardioid pickup pattern, designed for applications where speech intelligibility, isolation and high gain-before-feedback are critical. The 6388 is suited for theatre, broadcast, live productions, sports commentary, conferences and houses of worship.

The CORE+ capsule provides natural and transparent sound with low distortion. Thanks to its asymmetrical capsule design and shifted acoustical axis, the sound remains consistent even when the microphone is positioned slightly to the side of the mouth. The Act headset frame provides a stable fit, left- or right-side boom placement and a discreet appearance with a non-reflective PVD finish.
