Introduction
All the d:fineTM Headset Microphones provide a uniquely natural and open sound.
Ultra-lightweight and adjustable, d:fineTM Headset Mics ensure a secure and
comfortable fit in live performance environments. To ensure optimal performance
of your d:fine Headset Mic, please follow the simple instructions below.
Placement of microphone
For discreet placement, you can bend the microphone boom slightly so that the capsule is as close to the cheek as possible. Do not hold the capsule while bending; bend
the wire boom, making a smooth
curve with your thumb to best fit
the profile of the face.
Mount a directional mic 2 – 3
cm (1 in) from the corner of the
mouth to ensure optimal sound
quality compared to an omnidi
rectional mic that can be placed
further away from the mouth.
Omnidirectional characteristics
• The microphone is sensitive to sound from all directions.
• The sound remains more or less the same regardless of
the distance between the sound source and the microphone.
• The positioning of microphones with omnidirectional
characteristics is less critical than with directional.
• An omnidirectional microphone is generally not very
sensitive to wind, breathing and handling noises.
Directional characteristics
• Rejects background noise and creates higher separation.
• The microphone is most sensitive to sound on the side of the chevron.
• The positioning of mics with directional characteristics is essential
as the low frequency level will change according to the distance to the mouth.
Choose a distance which yields the desired amount of bass.
• Care should be taken to protect against wind and pop noise e.g. by using
a windsceen.

Adjusting the d:fineTM 4065
4065 is pre-formed but may require adjustment in order to get a tight, fixed position to the back of
the neck. Adjust the steel tube carefully at the curves.
A protection grid is mounted over the microphone head. If clogged with dirt or make-up,
gently remove it and clean it with distilled water.
Adjusting the d:fineTM 4066, 4067, and 4088
The size of the headset mount can easily be adjusted. Change the standard bend by carefully expanding the distance between the earhooks.
Adjusting the d:fineTM Omnidirectional, d:fineTM Directional, d:fineTM 66 and d:fineTM 88.
The directional characteristics of the microphone is indicated on the flat microphone
head with for omnidirectional and for directional as shown on page 3. This marking
should alw ays point towards the mouth. Mount a directional headset 2 – 3 cm (1 in) from the
corner of the mouth to ensure optimal sound quality.
For the single-ear, just open the spring hook lightly, first place the slide behind your ear
lobe (Pic. 1) and let go of the spring over your ear (Pic. 2). For the dual-ear, place the
headset behind your ears and place the springs like for the single-ear. Adjust the headset
mount by pulling or pushing the wires until it fits tight (Pic. 3).
1. When using the dual-ear mount,
the supplied cable relief should be applied.
To change sides, simply click the boom out of the clips and switch it over to the other side.
The remaining two clips are not used. The soft cable must not be attached into the clips.
