Superior microphone suspension - from enhanced shock mount and microphone body design. Improves isolation from instrument vibrations and stage noise, ensuring a cleaner signal and a more homogenous sound One microphone, ∞ possibilities - 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 One microphone, ∞ 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. DPA's 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, we have enhanced the clip system - 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, we have streamlined the mounting process, ensuring greater stability, ease of use and precision of mic placement for musicians and audio professionals alike. What's new in 4099 CORE+? CORE+ technology delivers tangible benefits to users with even greater clarity and authenticity in sound capture Significantly improved dynamic range (10 dB wider than with CORE) and a higher clipping point (3 dB higher than with CORE)
