The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic, Loud SPL with Universal Mount is a supercardioid clip-on condenser microphone for woodwind instruments, delivering 108dB of dynamic range, 142dB SPL handling, and distortion-free sound via DPA’s advanced CORE+ amplifier technology.
Distortion-Free Capture with CORE+
Utilising the latest CORE+ amplifier platform, this microphone eliminates distortion across the entire dynamic range. CORE+ technology improves upon the original CORE system by reducing artefacts to a level that is virtually unmeasurable and inaudible, even at high SPLs. This ensures completely transparent, crystal-clear audio with a flat response curve where only system noise remains. The result is a highly detailed and natural sound, suitable for demanding live and studio applications.
Wide Dynamic Range and High SPL Capability
The Loud SPL variation of the 4099 CORE+ handles sound pressure levels up to 142dB and offers 108dB of dynamic range, capturing everything from delicate passages to powerful transients without distortion or loss of fidelity. This makes it ideal for woodwind instruments that produce wide dynamic contrasts in both orchestral and amplified settings.
Natural Tonal Reproduction and Isolation
Equipped with a supercardioid capsule, the microphone delivers excellent off-axis rejection, isolating the sound source with precision and minimising bleed from nearby instruments. It maintains consistent tonal accuracy both on and off axis, avoiding harsh or coloured frequencies and providing a smooth, transparent sound signature across the frequency spectrum.
Versatile and Secure Universal Mounting
The included universal mount employs a velcro strap and rubber-coated base, designed to attach securely to a wide range of woodwind instruments without damaging the finish. This system offers stability, easy repositioning, and tool-free removal, making it ideal for quick changes during live performances or rehearsals.
Professional Audio Integration
Supplied with the DAD6001-BC XLR adapter, the microphone supports 48V phantom power and includes a built-in high-pass filter to remove unwanted low-frequency rumble and handling noise. It is also compatible with DPA’s range of wireless adapters for flexible setup in mobile or stage environments.
Engineered for Stage, Studio, and Broadcast
Purpose-built for professionals, the 4099 CORE+ with Universal Mount is a powerful solution for woodwind capture. It offers high headroom, natural clarity, stable mounting, and exceptional isolation, making it a reliable and transparent tool in any high-demand acoustic setting.
