The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic, Loud SPL with Mic Stand Mount is a high-SPL, supercardioid condenser microphone featuring the CORE+ amplifier for distortion-free performance across the full dynamic range, supplied with a stand mount compatible with both 3/8" and 5/8" threads for precision instrument or ensemble miking.
The integrated CORE+ amplifier eliminates harmonic distortion across the microphone’s dynamic range, pushing total harmonic distortion below measurable thresholds. Unlike the earlier CORE system that reduced distortion to 1%, CORE+ fully neutralises it, delivering an exceptionally transparent signal. This clarity enables engineers to work with uncoloured, natural sound from low to high SPL without additional processing or correction.
The microphone accommodates up to 142 dB SPL before clipping, with a dynamic range of 108 dB, making it ideal for loud acoustic instruments, brass sections, and amplified sources. Its linear response ensures accuracy regardless of volume, preserving tonal integrity in both close and ambient configurations.
The supercardioid capsule maintains clarity and presence even when the source moves, as the mic reproduces natural off-axis sound without introducing phase shift or tonal harshness. This consistency allows flexible mic positioning while retaining a coherent mix, essential for both stage and studio work.
The included SM4099 mic stand mount simplifies positioning for fixed applications, such as orchestral setups or studio environments. The ball joint allows 360° rotation for exact placement, while the mount threads—compatible with both 3/8" and 5/8" standards—ensure seamless integration with existing mic stands. The system also allows rapid repositioning or mic transfer without dismantling the rig.
The 4099 CORE+ works across varied acoustic scenarios, from live performance to theatre to broadcast. It comes with DPA’s XLR adapter, requiring 48V phantom power, and also supports wireless setups using the appropriate DPA adapter, offering adaptability for mobile or permanent installations.
Engineers benefit from a miniature form factor that offers robust build quality, low self-noise, and sonic consistency across the performance space. The CORE+ mic’s transparency and precise directional control elevate both solo and ensemble recordings, ensuring audio capture remains pristine regardless of complexity.
