DPA 4099-DP-1-199-V Microphone for Violin

DPA 4099-DP-1-199-V CORE+ Instrument Microphone for Violin (Loud SPL)

DPA 4099-DP-1-199-V CORE+ is a 2025 high-end condenser microphone, specially designed for professional amplification of violins, violas, mandolins, or banjos. The new CORE+ technology ensures even greater sonic transparency and a dynamic range of up to 118 dB, allowing the most subtle instrumental nuances and dynamic solo passages to be transmitted without any distortion.

The included VC4099 clip is designed for secure and stable attachment to the edge of the instrument's body, ensuring ideal microphone positioning and complete protection of the finish from scratches. The microphone features a supercardioid polar pattern, which maximally isolates the instrument from other stage sounds and ensures high resistance to acoustic feedback. The new MicroLock connector system and IP58 certification guarantee that the equipment will reliably operate even in the most challenging conditions, such as humid outdoor stages.
