DPA 4099-DP-1-101-U Universal Instrument Microphone

DPA 4099-DP-1-101-U CORE+ Universal Clip Microphone (Loud SPL)

DPA 4099-DP-1-101-U CORE+ is a high-end condenser microphone from the 2025 release, featuring a universal "Strap" type mount designed for instruments where standard mounts cannot be attached (e.g., flute, oboe, clarinet, or certain percussion instruments). The new CORE+ technology ensures even greater sonic transparency and a dynamic range of up to 118 dB, allowing the capture of the most subtle sounds from woodwind or other instruments without any distortion.

The included UC4099 mount uses a sturdy yet instrument-friendly strap with a hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastening, which securely attaches the microphone to surfaces of various diameters. The microphone features a supercardioid polar pattern, maximally isolating the instrument from other stage sounds and ensuring high resistance to acoustic feedback. The new MicroLock connector system and IP58 certification guarantee reliable performance even in the most demanding conditions.
