DPA 4099-DP-1-101-A Microphones for Accordion

DPA 4099-DP-1-101-A Microphones for Accordion

Two microphones with A-CLIP mounts provide separate pickup for the two sides of an accordion.

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 acoustic feedback risk.
• Foam wind protection and a less reflective gooseneck finish suit discreet stage placement.
• A-CLIP uses the G-MOUNT mechanism to lock the microphone gooseneck in position with one hand.
• The A-CLIP can be screwed to the instrument for permanent mounting if required.
• Each supplied G-EXTENSION has a MicroLock connector and adds 80 mm of reach, allowing placement farther from the instrument.
• Use an appropriate clip when moving the microphone to another instrument.
