DPA 4099-DP-1-101-P Microphones for Piano

DPA 4099-DP-1-101-P Microphone Pair for Piano

Two magnetic P-CLIP mounts provide adjustable microphone placement inside an upright or grand piano.

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.
• P-CLIP uses the G-MOUNT mechanism to lock the microphone gooseneck in position with one hand.
• The mount’s 90° rotation and 45° incline let you vary the microphone angle and captured sound nuances.
• The magnetic mounting system is designed to protect the instrument’s finish.
• Use an appropriate clip when moving the microphone to another instrument.
