Distortion-Free Sound Quality
Equipped with CORE+ technology, this microphone ensures a clean, transparent signal that captures the violin’s natural tonal characteristics without any harmonic distortion, even in dynamic environments.
KEY FEATURES
The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic, Loud SPL with Clip for Violin is a supercardioid condenser microphone designed specifically for violin and viola, featuring 108dB dynamic range, support for 142dB SPL, and CORE+ amplifier technology for distortion-free, natural sound capture in high-pressure acoustic environments.
Distortion-Free Performance with CORE+
Equipped with DPA’s CORE+ amplifier, this microphone eliminates harmonic distortion across the entire dynamic range, providing a clean, transparent signal that preserves the violin’s natural tonal characteristics. CORE+ advances beyond the original CORE design by pushing distortion below the threshold of audibility and measurement, maintaining sonic integrity even under the most dynamic playing conditions.
Extended SPL Handling and Wide Dynamic Range
The Loud SPL variation enables the microphone to handle peaks up to 142dB without clipping and offers 108dB of dynamic range, allowing it to reproduce everything from the quietest bow strokes to aggressive passages without compression or artefacts. This makes it ideal for both close-miked studio work and high-volume live stage setups.
Directional Control and Acoustic Isolation
The supercardioid capsule provides tight off-axis rejection, isolating the violin or viola from nearby instruments or ambient stage noise. It maintains accurate tonal reproduction both on and off axis, avoiding harsh resonances and ensuring tonal clarity in ensemble and solo contexts.
Secure Instrument Mounting
The supplied clip mounts securely onto the body of the violin or viola without damaging the instrument’s surface. The integrated gooseneck allows precise mic placement for optimal capture, ensuring consistent sound regardless of performance movement.
Professional Connectivity and Filtering
The microphone includes the DAD4099-BC XLR adapter, which supports 48V phantom power and integrates a low-frequency cut filter to control rumble and handling noise. The system is also compatible with DPA’s wireless adapters for flexible stage configurations.
Optimised for Stage and Studio
Engineered for professional violinists and violists, the 4099 CORE+ delivers clean, distortion-free audio with detailed dynamic response, tonal accuracy, and robust mounting, making it suitable for classical, folk, and contemporary settings where clarity and isolation are paramount.
