The 4098 gooseneck microphone, in any of its configurations, delivers high intelligibility and controlled directionality as well as efficient rejection of background noise and radio frequency interference. They are often the preferred mic to turn to when high speech intelligibility is paramount - for example at parliaments where multiple languages are to be simultaneous interpreted and the interpreters must catch every word and nuance in a split second to deliver the perfect translation.

The 4098 CORE Supercardioid Microphone is available in many variants. It comes in either black or white, with either an XLR or a MicroDot termination and in five lengths ranging from 16 cm (6 in) to 122 cm (48 in).
