Maximum Clarity with CORE+ Technology
The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic features CORE+ Technology, which virtually eliminates distortion across the full dynamic range, providing transparent, detailed drum sound for both live performances and studio recordings.
KEY FEATURES
The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic, Loud SPL with Clip for Drums is a supercardioid clip-on condenser microphone tailored for drum kits, offering 109dB of dynamic range, 152dB SPL handling, and distortion-free audio capture through CORE+ technology for both live and studio applications.
CORE+ Technology for Maximum Clarity
The integrated CORE+ amplifier completely eliminates distortion across the full dynamic range, preserving the true character of drum transients and tonal subtleties even under extreme SPL. Unlike previous CORE technology, which limited distortion to under 1% THD, CORE+ suppresses distortion to levels that are virtually unmeasurable, ensuring only system noise remains. This results in a transparent and highly detailed drum sound, suitable for high-fidelity mixing and performance.
Exceptional SPL Handling and Dynamic Response
Designed to withstand intense sound pressure levels up to 152dB before clipping, the 4099 CORE+ is ideal for close-miking drums in loud performance environments. With a 109dB dynamic range, it captures both subtle nuances and aggressive hits with accuracy, maintaining full transient detail and dynamic contrast.
Focused Pickup and Natural Sound Reproduction
Its supercardioid capsule ensures high off-axis rejection, significantly reducing bleed from adjacent instruments. The microphone maintains a consistent tonal profile both on and off axis, allowing for natural-sounding spill when present and delivering an authentic drum timbre without harsh overtones.
Robust Mounting and Positioning
The microphone includes a durable, rubber-coated mounting system that attaches securely to the drum rim. Its flexible gooseneck enables precise positioning, allowing engineers to consistently capture the desired part of the drumhead or shell with ease and stability.
Flexible Integration and Connectivity
The included DAD4099 XLR adapter supports 48V phantom power and integrates smoothly into wired setups. The system also accommodates wireless microphone configurations when paired with the appropriate DPA adapter, making it suitable for mobile and live use scenarios.
Reliable for Stage and Studio
Engineered specifically for drum applications, the 4099 CORE+ offers high-fidelity capture in demanding acoustic conditions. Whether used in a live setup or studio production, it delivers clean, controlled, and distortion-free sound with excellent rejection and durability.
