4099 CORE
Instrument Microphones
The award-winning 4099 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 4099 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.
