CORE+ Captures an Instruments True Voice

With CORE+ technology inside, the 4099 captures every nuance with pristine clarity, ensuring that the character of the instrument remains untouched, both on-axis and in the surrounding soundscape.

Well-Balanced Isolation

The supercardioid polar pattern and linear off-axis response provide superior isolation from surrounding instruments.

Lightweight, Discreet Design

The 4099 blends seamlessly into performances while maintaining a low profile.

Superior Microphone Suspension

An enhanced shock mount and microphone body design improve isolation from instrument vibrations and stage noise, ensuring a cleaner signal and a more homogenous sound.

One Microphone, Infinite Possibilities

An upgraded, flexible clip program ensures a secure, reliable fit while treating your instrument with the utmost care. Effortless to attach and adjust, yet firm and reliable in hold, this one microphone model can beautifully reinforce an entire orchestra.

Reliable MicroLock Connector

A detachable cable and connection allow compatibility with a wide range of wireless systems.

One Microphone, Infinite Possibilities

From the piano to guitar, strings to woodwinds, brass to percussion, the 4099 Series sounds equally impressive on them all. This one microphone model can beautifully reinforce an entire orchestra. You can move the mic to another instrument; just make sure you have the right type of clip to mount it correctly.

DPAs versatile and practical instrument clip system has been a key selling point since the launch of the original 4099 in 2008. The principle of attaching the clip to the gooseneck has proven highly effective in both classical and rock applications, offering secure and flexible mounting solutions. And now, the clip system has been enhanced improving not only the acoustic performance of the microphone but also the security, reliability and efficiency of the mounting process. These refinements make it easier to close-mic instruments and adjust capsule positioning for optimal performance.

The most significant update is the introduction of a new gooseneck locking mechanism: the Gooseneck Mount (G-MOUNT). By integrating this new locking principle, the mounting process is streamlined, ensuring greater stability, ease of use and precision of mic placement for musicians and audio professionals alike.
