DPA 4099 CORE+ Instrument Microphone for Loud SPL with Clip for Violin

The DPA Microphones 4099 CORE+ instrument mic delivers pristine, natural and undistorted sound with exceptional isolation and off-axis rejection for any live or studio setting. Fitted with MicroLock and a series of upgraded instrument clips, the 4099 CORE+ provides even better stability and flexibility on any type of instrument. A lightweight, discreet design ensures that the 4099 CORE+ blends seamlessly into performances. Superior microphone suspension from enhanced shock mount and microphone body design improves isolation from instrument vibrations and stage noise, ensuring a cleaner signal and a more homogenous sound.

The Loud SPL configuration available here (red marking on gooseneck) can be used to close-mic most types of acoustical instrument from the harp to the drums and everything in between. It has a max SPL, peak before clipping, of 145 dB.

VC4099 INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE CLIP FOR VIOLIN AND MANDOLIN

The included VC4099 connects the 4099 CORE+ to a violin, viola, banjo or mandolin. The mounting mechanism makes it easy to move the mic between instruments with one hand. The versatile gooseneck provides stable and repeatable positioning. The mics can be easily unclipped and repositioned or moved to another instrument. The mounting system is designed to never blemish or scratch the finish of your instrument. The flexible design supports a wide variety of mounting and positioning possibilities.

DISTORTION FREE FROM HIGH TO LOW SPL

Outfitted with DPA's CORE+ technology, the revamped 4099 delivers crystal clear, distortion-free sound across the entire dynamic range of the microphone. Anyone seeking the highest possible sound quality will appreciate CORE+. Whether recording or amplifying content, the sound will remain clear and completely undistorted by the microphone, even when the talent speaks or sings at louder volumes. Especially at higher sound pressure levels and with multiple microphones on stage, the elimination of distortion will enhance the overall clarity and transparency of the entire sound image.

ONE MICROPHONE, INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

DPA's versatile and practical instrument clip system has been a key selling point since the launch of the original 4099 in 2008. The principle of attaching the clip to the gooseneck has proven highly effective in both classical and rock applications, offering secure and flexible mounting solutions. And now, they have enhanced the clip system – improving not only the acoustic performance of the microphone but also the security, reliability and efficiency of the mounting process. These refinements make it easier to close-mic instruments and adjust capsule positioning for optimal performance. 

The most significant update in the 4099+ is the introduction of a new gooseneck locking mechanism: the Gooseneck Mount (G-MOUNT). By integrating this new locking principle, DPA have streamlined the mounting process, ensuring greater stability, ease of use and precision of mic placement for musicians and audio professionals alike.
