Gear Hunter

This mic solution for piano makes it easy to achieve a high level of isolation on stage. It also provides clean and transparent stereo sound quality with realistic dynamics. It is a complete system, which includes a pair 4099 CORE mics for Loud SPL selected on sensitivity within +/-1.5 dB. It includes two versatile magnet mounts/gooseneck systems that provide stable and repeatable positioning.

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. The award-winning 4099 Series gives you a much more natural sound than any clip-on microphone or pickup. This instrument condenser microphone rejects unwanted noise and accurately captures the true voice of your acoustic instrument.

CORE 4099 Mic Features

* CORE by DPA technology inside
* Supercardioid instrument condenser microphone
* Handles high SPLs
* Superior gain-before-feedback
* Flexible and easy mounting
* Detachable cable and a versatile gooseneck extender
* Water-repellant nano-coating of the cover and housing
* Hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic
* Dual gold plating of the diaphragm

The CORE 4099 comes with an XLR connector as an adapter. The microphone can easily be connected to a wireless system via an adapter from an extensive range of wireless adapters (sold separately). The 4099 CORE also features an enhanced shock mount design, providing excellent isolation from handling noise and rumble.

The mics can be easily unclipped and repositioned or moved to another instrument. The mounting system is designed to never blemish or scratch the finish of your instrument. The flexible design supports a wide variety of mounting and positioning possibilities.

These mics have a supercardioid polar pattern for high rejection and superior gain-before-feedback. The 4099 also retains a uniform off-axis frequency response to ensure a high-energy, clear live performance.
