The DPA 4099 Core+ Stereo System for Piano is a high-performance stereo microphone kit that includes two supercardioid CORE+ 4099 microphones with Loud SPL handling (142 dB max), 108 dB dynamic range, low self-noise, and a magnetic mounting system for precise, reliable piano miking in both studio and live environments.
Uncompromising Clarity with CORE+
Built around DPA’s advanced CORE+ amplifier, this stereo mic system eliminates distortion across the entire dynamic range. By pushing total harmonic distortion below measurable levels, the CORE+ engine guarantees transparent, clean signal capture, even during the most dynamic performances. This ensures natural tone, clarity, and detail without introducing harshness or phase-related artefacts.
High SPL and Dynamic Range Performance
The Loud SPL version of the 4099 capsule handles sound pressure levels up to 142 dB before clipping and offers a wide 108 dB dynamic range. This makes it ideal for close-miking a piano without sacrificing headroom, detail, or transient accuracy, whether during soft passages or aggressive fortissimo sections.
Tight Directionality and Isolation
Each supercardioid capsule provides strong off-axis rejection, making the kit well-suited to environments with multiple instruments or live reinforcement. The design ensures the piano remains isolated and articulate in the mix, reducing bleed and improving gain-before-feedback in challenging acoustic spaces.
Natural Tonality On and Off Axis
The system captures the full character of the piano with precision both on and off axis. This is critical when miking inside the instrument, where mic positions may vary during setup. The consistent tonal balance makes it a reliable solution for both fixed and touring applications.
Innovative Magnetic Mounting System
Included in the kit is a discreet magnetic mounting solution that attaches directly and securely inside the piano. This flexible yet firm mounting system allows engineers to adjust mic positioning quickly and without damaging the instrument, making it suitable for both permanent installs and fast-paced live setups.
Flexible Cabling and Gooseneck Design
The system features detachable cables and an extendable gooseneck, allowing for precise mic placement and improved cable management. The gooseneck holds position securely, reducing mechanical noise while simplifying adjustments.
Professional-Grade Stereo Imaging
Designed to deliver rich, spatially accurate stereo capture, the kit enables detailed imaging for solo piano, chamber ensembles, or full orchestral settings. Its compact form factor and transparent response make it a staple for sound professionals demanding excellence on stage or in the studio.
