High-SPL supercardioid clip-on microphone delivering 108 dB dynamic range and 142 dB maximum SPL handling, featuring an advanced CORE+ amplifier that eliminates distortion across the full dynamic range, ensures natural off-axis sound reproduction, provides superior isolation with a directional capsule, includes a durable rubber-coated clamp for secure saxophone mounting, and ships with an XLR adapter featuring a high-pass filter while also supporting wireless connectivity for maximum flexibility in live and studio environments.

The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic, Loud SPL for Saxophone is a high-performance supercardioid clip-on microphone designed specifically for saxophones, offering 108 dB dynamic range, 142 dB maximum SPL handling, and ultra-low distortion across the entire dynamic spectrum via its advanced CORE+ amplifier.

Advanced CORE+ Amplification


The CORE+ amplifier represents DPA’s most sophisticated signal path to date, fully eliminating harmonic distortion across the full dynamic range. Where the original CORE design reduced THD to under 1%, CORE+ goes further by suppressing distortion to the point of being virtually unmeasurable, ensuring complete signal integrity from soft passages to aggressive peaks. The result is a clear, open response free from compression artefacts or signal smearing.

High SPL Performance


With the ability to handle 142 dB SPL before clipping and a dynamic range of 108 dB, this mic excels in demanding live and studio settings. It captures the natural nuances of the saxophone without distortion or loss of detail, even at extreme volume levels typical of brass and reed instruments. Engineers benefit from consistent signal quality without compensatory EQ or gain staging.

Optimised Directionality and Isolation


The supercardioid capsule provides high off-axis rejection, ideal for use in ensemble or orchestral settings where multiple sources coexist. This polar pattern maintains focus on the saxophone while minimising bleed from adjacent instruments, resulting in superior clarity and a more defined mix.

On and Off Axis Accuracy


Engineers can rely on consistent tonality whether the source remains stationary or shifts slightly during performance. The mic retains its natural frequency response off axis, avoiding tonal coloration or harsh high-end peaks. This tonal stability supports both fixed and dynamic setups on stage or in the studio.

Refined Mounting System


The included clamp-based mount features a rubber-coated grip engineered specifically for saxophone rims. It ensures a secure, damage-free attachment while allowing for flexible mic positioning via the adjustable gooseneck. The system supports quick setups and maintains mechanical stability under movement.

Versatile Connectivity Options


The package includes the DAD6001-BC XLR adapter with a built-in high-pass filter and phantom power requirement. The mic can also integrate into wireless systems through compatible DPA adapters, offering versatility for both fixed installations and mobile setups.

Engineered for Professional Use


Built for high-pressure applications in theatre, studio, and touring environments, the DPA 4099 CORE+ for Saxophone provides maximum transparency and technical performance in a miniature, road-ready format that delivers uncompromised sonic fidelity under the most demanding conditions.
