DPA 4099-DP-1-101-U – Instrument microphone CORE+ supercardioid with universal U-clip
The DPA 4099 CORE+ is a supercardioid condenser microphone high-end designed for the accurate capture of acoustic instruments. True professional standard, it offers a exceptional sound transparency and unrivalled accuracy thanks to technology CORE+, which extends the dynamic range while significantly reducing harmonic distortion. Its 5.7 mm miniature capsule captures every nuance of the instrument with a striking realism, guaranteeing a natural and balanced reproduction of the sound, both on stage and in studio. From Danish know-how DPA Microphones, this model combines craft quality, reliability and performance in a compact and elegant format.
The design of the 4099 CORE+ is based on a supercardioid directivity ensuring remarkable sound insulation and gain before larsen high. Its internal suspension minimizes mechanical noise and vibration, while the connector MicroDot MicroLock® makes the modular system compatible with all DAD adapters for wired or wireless configurations. Each element is manufactured with extreme precision and benefits from a certified hydrophobic protection coating IP58, ensuring exemplary longevity and reliability under the most demanding conditions. Compact, robust and discreet, the 4099 CORE+ has become a must for sound musicians and engineers looking for an impeccable acoustic capture.
The version DPA 4099-DP-1-001-U is delivered with the universal clip (U-clip), a micro ingenious clamp equipped with a adjustable scratch strip. This flexible fixing system allows the microphone to be adapted to instruments of various shapes — acoustic guitar, violin, copper, percussion, winds — without the risk of damaging surfaces. Thanks to its adjustable and secure design, the universal clip ensures optimal support and maximum freedom of positioning. The kit also includes XLR adapter DAD9001 for phantom power 48 V standard, offering immediate compatibility with all stage and studio environments.
