Know before you buy
Yes. The boom arm is fully rotatable, allowing you to easily switch the microphone to whichever side of your face is most comfortable or convenient for your setup.
The d:fine is designed to be compatible with all professional wireless systems. You will simply need to purchase the specific adapter—such as the DAD6003 for Sennheiser or DAD6010 for Shure—that matches your transmitter's input.
Absolutely. The microphone features a high SPL (Sound Pressure Level) rating, meaning it can handle loud singing or powerful speech without distorting. Its cardioid pattern also helps isolate your voice while rejecting unwanted background noise.
The d:fine uses a modular design with a detachable cable. If the cable is damaged, you can replace just that component rather than needing to purchase an entirely new microphone.
The microphone includes integrated pop and wind protection, and it comes with additional windscreens. These features work together to minimize breath noise and wind interference, ensuring your audio remains clear in various environments.
