Advanced CORE+ Technology
The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic features advanced CORE+ technology that virtually eliminates distortion across all sound levels, ensuring transparent audio reproduction and enhancing clarity from quiet to loud playing dynamics.
The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic with Clip for Guitar is a next-generation supercardioid clip-on condenser microphone that delivers an exceptionally natural acoustic guitar sound with superior isolation, ultra-low distortion, and extended dynamic range up to 142dB SPL.
Built on DPA’s refined CORE+ amplifier platform, the microphone eliminates distortion across the full dynamic range, ensuring completely transparent audio reproduction. Unlike the earlier CORE technology, which reduced distortion up to 1% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), CORE+ removes these residual artifacts altogether, achieving a flat response curve at all sound levels. This enhances clarity at both low and high sound pressure levels and ensures that only system noise remains detectable.
With a remarkable 108dB of usable dynamic range and support for up to 142dB SPL before clipping, the DPA 4099 CORE+ maintains sonic integrity even under extreme performance conditions. It captures the full expressive range of the guitar without introducing harsh frequencies, preserving the natural tonality both on and off axis.
The microphone employs a highly directional supercardioid capsule designed to reject off-axis sound, reducing interference from other sources on stage. This makes it especially suitable for live environments with multiple sound sources, where clarity and control are critical.
Its sturdy rubber-coated clamp ensures secure attachment to a wide range of acoustic guitars, allowing for precise microphone positioning. The integrated gooseneck design offers flexibility while maintaining stability throughout performances.
The included DAD4099 XLR adapter supports 48V phantom power, making it ideal for wired setups. The microphone is also compatible with DPA’s wireless adapters, offering flexibility for mobile and stage applications without sacrificing audio quality.
Tailored specifically for guitar, the 4099 CORE+ delivers unparalleled fidelity for studio recordings, live amplification, and broadcast use, making it a valuable tool for professionals in music production, theatre, and film where discrete, accurate sound capture is essential.
