Overview

Supercardioid instrument condenser microphone that can handle high SPLs.

The DPA Microphones 4099 CORE Mic, Loud SPL brings more clarity and details to your music, across the entire dynamic range. Anyone looking for the very highest sound quality should choose CORE—musicians, live sound engineers and anyone else who takes pride in quality audio.

From the piano to guitar; strings to woodwinds; brass to percussion, the 4099 Series sounds equally impressive on them all. This one microphone model can beautifully reinforce an entire orchestra. You can move the mic to another instrument; just make sure you have the right type of clip to mount it correctly. The award-winning 4099 Series gives you a much more natural sound, rejecting unwanted noise and accurately capturing the true voice of your acoustic instrument.

The 4099 CORE also features an enhanced shock mount design, providing excellent isolation from handling noise and rumble. Detachable cables are available in heavy duty or lightweight versions, depending on the application—both are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. A versatile, integrated gooseneck extender provides easy and repeatable mounting.

The 4099, Loud SPL is perfect for use on a wide range of instruments—from the flute to the guitar, and everything in between. This mic also has a supercardioid polar pattern for high rejection and superior gain-before-feedback. The 4099 also retains a uniform off-axis frequency response to ensure a high-energy for a clear, live performance.

IP58 Certified
All CORE by DPA technology microphones, including the 4099 CORE, are IP58 certified. This durability is achieved through several defense mechanisms:

• Water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing

• Dual gold plating of the diaphragm
