DPA 4099-DP-A Microphone

DPA 4099-DP-1 Microphone

Red identification marks the Loud SPL version for close-miking most acoustic instruments.

CORE+ technology is designed to preserve the instrument’s natural sound. The supercardioid pattern and linear off-axis response help isolate it from surrounding instruments.

An improved shock mount reduces the effect of instrument vibrations. The flexible 140 mm gooseneck provides adjustable capsule positioning.

The cable detaches at the MicroLock connector. A suitable DPA adapter allows connection to a wireless system or an XLR input. The 4099 CORE+ also works with earlier DPA instrument clips and MicroDot accessories.

Main Features

• The supercardioid pattern helps reduce feedback risk; it does not eliminate it.
• Foam wind protection and a less reflective gooseneck finish suit discreet stage placement.
• Use the microphone on another instrument by fitting the appropriate clip.
