Product Description
The DPA 4099 Instrument Microphone is a professional supercardioid condenser mic designed to deliver exceptional sound quality across a wide variety of instruments. Whether miking a cello, saxophone, piano, or acoustic guitar, the 4099 CORE captures the natural tonality and detail of your instrument with minimal distortion and maximum clarity. It features CORE by DPA technology, providing greater dynamic range and reduced distortion even at high sound pressure levels. Built to endure the challenges of live performance and demanding studio sessions, the 4099 offers a rugged yet discreet design, versatile gooseneck mount, and a wide array of clips to suit nearly any instrument. With its IP58 rating, detachable cable options, and flexible mounting system, the 4099 ensures premium performance, durability and ease of use. This microphone is the choice for musicians, sound engineers, and recording professionals who demand pristine, true-to-source sound without compromise.
Key Features:
- CORE by DPA technology:
Delivers increased clarity and openness across the full dynamic range with minimal distortion, from the softest pianissimo to the most powerful forte. - Superior gain before feedback:
Offers excellent rejection of unwanted ambient noise, making it ideal for live performances and complex stage environments. - Flexible and secure mounting:
Easily mounts on a wide range of instruments using dedicated clips, ensuring stable placement without damaging your instrument's surface.
Pristine Sound Reinforcement:
Designed to excel in both live and studio settings, the 4099 provides a highly natural sonic representation of your instrument. The mic’s supercardioid pattern ensures focused pickup while rejecting off-axis noise, ideal for close-miking in orchestras or amplified stage environments. The high SPL handling ensures crystal-clear reproduction of louder instruments like brass or percussion, while its discreet design keeps it visually unobtrusive. Thanks to its CORE technology, every note is captured with enhanced detail and precision, bringing out the full tonal palette of your performance.
Reliable and Rugged Performance:
The 4099 is built to endure rigorous touring and daily use. With its IP58 certification, it resists water, dust and humidity through a combination of nano-coating, sealed electronics and gold-plated diaphragm. The detachable cable system provides flexibility and easy replacement, available in both lightweight and heavy duty versions. Its refined shock mount design offers superior isolation from handling noise and vibrations, maintaining clean audio even in the most energetic performances or mobile setups.
Versatility Across Instruments:
This microphone is perfect for multi-instrumentalists or ensemble applications. With an array of specially designed clips, the 4099 fits securely on everything from violins and cellos to guitars, drums, and brass. It transitions seamlessly between instruments without the need for complex adjustments. The integrated gooseneck ensures precise placement every time, while the gentle mounting system keeps your instrument free from scratches or blemishes. One mic can serve an entire orchestra, just switch the clip and reposition.
