DPA 4099-DP-1-101-P – CORE+ Supercardioid Stereo Kit for Piano

The DPA 4099 CORE+ is a miniature supercardioid condenser microphone designed to capture the nuances of acoustic instruments with precision and naturalness. Thanks to CORE+ technology, it delivers ultra-low distortion, an extended dynamic range, and sound reproduction of exceptional purity. With its 5.7 mm capsule and high-end Danish design, it is the ultimate reference for demanding musicians seeking a clear, balanced, and faithful sound, both in studio and on stage.

Featuring a supercardioid pickup pattern, the 4099 CORE+ ensures excellent isolation of sound sources and high gain before feedback. Its modular construction with MicroDot MicroLock® connector provides full compatibility with DAD adapters for wired or wireless use. The robust housing, certified IP58, offers enhanced resistance to dust and moisture, while the internal suspension effectively reduces handling noise and unwanted vibrations. This microphone is a precision tool for professional sound engineers and instrumentalists.

The DPA 4099-DP-1-101-P version is a stereo kit specially designed for piano. It includes two 4099 CORE+ microphones with their magnetic P-CLIP mounts and two DAD9001 adapters for standard P48 phantom power. The magnetic clips provide stable and secure positioning while perfectly preserving the instrument's finish. The flexible gooseneck allows precise and reproducible placement, offering great orientation freedom to faithfully capture all tonal nuances of the piano. This stereo kit delivers a detailed sound image and transparent reproduction across the entire range, from low to high registers.
