The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic, with Clamp Mount Loud, is a supercardioid clip-on condenser microphone engineered for high-SPL applications, offering 108dB of dynamic range, 142dB SPL before clipping, and complete distortion elimination across the full frequency spectrum.
Advanced Acoustic Clarity with CORE+
At the heart of the microphone lies the upgraded CORE+ amplifier technology, which removes all residual distortion across the dynamic range. Unlike earlier versions that permitted distortion up to 1% THD, CORE+ technology neutralises it entirely, pushing artefacts below the threshold of audibility and measurability. This ensures pristine audio capture even in high-intensity environments, delivering a flat frequency response where only system noise remains.
High SPL Handling and Extended Range
With the Loud SPL variant, the 4099 CORE+ handles sound pressure levels up to 142dB before clipping, making it suitable for demanding live sound environments. It maintains 108dB of dynamic range, capturing subtle nuances alongside powerful transients without compromise.
Optimised Isolation and Directionality
The supercardioid capsule provides precise off-axis rejection, isolating the intended sound source with accuracy and minimising bleed from adjacent instruments. This makes the microphone ideal for use in orchestras, theatre productions, and multi-mic stage setups.
Improved Mounting System
The included clamp mount delivers precise placement with a stable grip and is adaptable to a wide range of instruments and mounting surfaces. Its integrated gooseneck ensures accurate directional positioning without slippage, even during extended performances.
Professional Connectivity
The package includes the DAD6001-BC XLR adapter, which supports 48V phantom power and integrates a built-in high-pass filter to manage low-frequency rumble. The microphone system also supports compatibility with DPA wireless adapters for versatile deployment.
Engineered for Demanding Environments
Designed for theatre, live performance, and broadcast, the 4099 CORE+ provides natural tonal reproduction both on and off axis. It maintains clarity and transparency even under high SPL conditions and complex multi-source soundscapes, ensuring accurate, distortion-free capture at the source.
