DPA CORE 4099B User Manual

Capture true instrument tone

4099 Instrument Mics

Much more natural sounding than any internal microphone or pickup, d:vote rejects unwanted

noise and accurately captures the true voice of acoustic instruments. One microphone reinforces

the entire orchestra impressively.

Features

• Superior gain-before-feedback

• Natural sound – easy to blend with pick-up
