d:vote™ CORE 4099
Instrument Microphones
The award-winning d:vote™ has been updated with
CORE by DPA technology. The series is designed with a
supercardioid polar pattern for high rejection and superior
gain-before-feedback. The mics retain a uniform o-axis
frequency response. The d:vote™ series is very adaptable,
due to the wide selection of ingenious mounting options
oered. In fact, the same microphone can be used with
10 dierent clips, allowing it to be used on almost any
instrument. The correct variant to use depends on the
type of instrument the mic is being used on.
