The DPA 4099 CORE+ is a supercardioid condenser microphone featuring DPA’s latest CORE+ amplifier technology, delivering ultra-low distortion, a wide dynamic range of 108 dB, and the ability to handle extremely high SPLs up to 142 dB without compromising tonal clarity.
Advanced CORE+ Amplification
The CORE+ amplifier system represents the most refined evolution of DPA's mic preamp design. It eliminates distortion across the full dynamic spectrum, from the quietest passages to the most powerful peaks, reducing total harmonic distortion to virtually unmeasurable levels. This results in transparent and uncoloured audio, preserving the integrity of the source in both studio and live environments.
Exceptional SPL Handling and Dynamic Range
With a dynamic range of 108 dB and SPL capability up to 142 dB before clipping, the 4099 CORE+ suits demanding applications where volume and precision are equally important. It maintains clean signal capture without compression or loss of detail, even when used close to high-output sources.
Supercardioid Precision and Isolation
The microphone uses a highly directional supercardioid capsule that offers focused pickup and excellent rejection of ambient noise. This makes it an ideal choice for close-miking in environments with multiple sound sources, ensuring high gain-before-feedback and clean isolation in both FOH and recording applications.
Natural Sound Reproduction
The 4099 CORE+ captures a natural, balanced tone both on and off axis, avoiding the harshness or phase issues often found in lesser directional microphones. Engineers benefit from a consistent frequency response even if the source moves slightly or the mic position shifts.
Flexible Mounting and Integration
The gooseneck-mounted design enables precise placement and adjustment while remaining stable during use. The microphone integrates seamlessly into both wired and wireless setups via DPA’s range of adapters, including the included XLR adapter requiring 48V phantom power.
Designed for Professional Use
Compact, rugged, and road-ready, the 4099 CORE+ meets the needs of professional sound engineers and musicians across a variety of performance contexts. Its low-profile design and exceptional audio performance make it suitable for stage, studio, broadcast, and theatrical productions.
