6388
CORE+ Directional Headset Microphone
Building on the legacy of DPA’s 4088 Directional Capsule, the 6388 CORE+ enhances performance with improved feedback rejection, greater clarity, and more reliable real-world results. It eliminates the usual trade-offs between sound quality and isolation, delivering both natural, authentic audio and strong noise rejection. It is ideal for environments requiring clear voice isolation, including theater and live performances, broadcasting and sports events, houses of worship, and corporate events and conferences.
The 6388 delivers DPA's renowned natural, authentic sound with outstanding feedback rejection and exceptional speech intelligibility — in a secure, discreet headset built for the most demanding live environments.
Why 6388?
The 6388 is powered by CORE+ capsule technology and combines a supercardioid pickup pattern with a shifted acoustic axis. This allows it to maintain optimal sound capture even when positioned slightly off-center. This results in more consistent performance across different users, less sensitivity to placement, and stronger rejection of stage noise and feedback.
Key benefits
- Exceptional sound. It provides clean, transparent audio with extremely low distortion and outstanding speech intelligibility, even at high sound pressure levels (SPL).
- High gain-before-feedback. Supercardioid directivity and controlled off-axis response provide more usable gain and greater system stability on stage.
- Flexible placement. The shifted acoustic axis allows for discreet positioning away from the mouth without compromising sound quality.
- Built to last. It is IP58-certified with 90° cable management, a non-reflective PVD finish, and a serviceable design built for daily professional use.
- Easy to use. Switchable left/right boom, three colors, multiple connector options and fast, intuitive mounting — even for untrained users.
Consistent Polar Pattern & Superior Feedback Rejection
The microphone maintains consistent directionality across frequencies to ensure predictable, linear off-axis rejection and stable tonal balance for natural sound reproduction. These features result in superior isolation, reduced stage bleed, and significantly improved gain-before-feedback performance, making it ideal for loud stages. Its wide dynamic range is perfect for soft and powerful vocal delivery. Its forgiving design allows professional and volunteer users to quickly and efficiently achieve reliable, high-quality results.
Ultimate Comfort, Versatility, and Acoustic Excellence.
The headset is available in multiple colors, sizes, and termination options, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into any production environment. The frame is a refined version of the brand’s Act Headset Frame and offers a secure, stable fit and all-day comfort. It will also be incorporated into the development of future DPA headset microphones.
The 6388 CORE+ represents a significant evolution in acoustic performance and usability. With enhanced clarity, improved noise rejection, and greater consistency across users and setups, it sets a new standard for professional headset microphones.
