DPA 4099-DP-1-201-B Microphone for Double Bass

DPA 4099-DP-1-201-B CORE+ Microphone for Double Bass (Loud SPL)

The DPA 4099-DP-1-201-B CORE+ is a premium 2025 condenser microphone specifically designed for professional double bass amplification. The new CORE+ technology elevates sound quality to an even higher level: the dynamic range is extended to 118 dB, and harmonic distortion is virtually eliminated, making the double bass's low frequencies sound incredibly deep, clear, and natural.

This kit features a special BC4099 clip that securely attaches to the double bass strings below the bridge, ensuring stable microphone positioning and protecting the instrument's body from any damage. The microphone has a supercardioid polar pattern, which effectively isolates the instrument from other stage sounds and ensures maximum resistance to acoustic feedback. The new MicroLock connector system and IP58 certification guarantee that the equipment will operate reliably even in the most demanding stage conditions.

• CORE+ Technology: 118 dB dynamic range ensures impeccable detail and clarity.
