DPA CORE+ 4099 Instrument Mic for Loud SPL w/ Violin Clip

The DPA 4099 CORE+ is a supercardioid instrument condenser built for close-miking live and studio sources with minimal feedback and maximum isolation. DPA's CORE+ technology yields a 10 dB wider dynamic range and 3 dB higher clipping point than the standard CORE generation, making it a robust choice for loud acoustic instruments and amplified rigs in mixed stage environments. The microphone's lightweight, discreet form factor and advanced shock mount design reject structure-borne vibration and instrument resonance, delivering clean, undistorted capture across a wide frequency palette without tonal colouration.

The 4099 CORE+ ships with MicroLock® connector compatibility, enabling quick integration with wireless bodypack systems and standard XLR rigs. Its redesigned Gooseneck Mount (G-MOUNT) locking mechanism allows one-handed, tool-free positioning and adjustment, critical for fast instrument changes during live sets or multi-instrument sessions. IP58 certification ensures durability in demanding venue conditions, whilst the supercardioid polar pattern and superior gain-before-feedback specification isolate each instrument from surrounding stage noise and neighbouring performers. A refined foam windscreen and matt gooseneck finish reduce mechanical handling noise and reflections.

The 4099 CORE+ works across the entire instrumental palette—violin, guitar, woodwind, brass, and percussion—with optional kit configurations pairing the microphone with appropriate clips and adapters for classical or rock setups. Musicians and sound engineers can purchase the capsule alone or in 4-piece and 10-piece bundles, each tailored to specific instrument types and application workflows, making mic placement quick and repeatable across long tour schedules or theatre runs.
