DPA 4099-DP-2-201-D Microphone for Drums

DPA 4099-DP-2-201-D Microphone for Drums

The D-CLIP positions the microphone on a drum.

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 feedback risk; it does not eliminate it.
• Foam wind protection and a less reflective gooseneck finish suit discreet stage placement.
• Use the microphone on another instrument by fitting the appropriate clip.
• The Extreme SPL version is intended for close-miking drums, percussion and very loud brass instruments.
• Remove the D-CLIP from the gooseneck and refit it rotated by 90° to extend the available microphone positions.
• G-MOUNT locks the gooseneck in place, while rounded clip edges improve handling.
