Perfect for
PA amplification and live recording of a cello, the
4099C offers a sound that is considerably more natural
than an internal microphone or pick-up as well as
several excellent placement possibilities.
The 4099C is a unique clip microphone inheriting the
sonic approach from the legendary DPA studio microphones
to a new instrument microphone. The 4099C microphone and
mounting system is meticulously designed and optimized
for the violoncello. This is to ensure the best possible
mount and audio reinforcement is achieved when
performing live. The 4099C attaches to the C and A
string below the bridge and allows for microphone
capsule placement in the sweet spot between bridge and
fingerboard, offering a unique combination of natural
string sound and high audio separation on stage.
Representing years of research and development, the 4099
condenser microphones feature supercardioid polar
patterns for superior gain-before-feedback. Fully
capable of handling the cello’s dynamic range and subtle
details, these microphones live up to their pedigree
with sound as accurate as DPA’s other world-class
microphones.
Despite its tiny, discreet size and elegant, lightweight
design, the 4099C is extremely rugged. The versatile
gooseneck provides stable and repeatable positioning.
The mics can be easily unclipped and repositioned or
moved to another instrument, while the mounting system
is designed never to mar or scratch the finish of your
instrument nor changing the sonic character of it.
Through the use of our extensive adapter system, the
4099 can be used as a standard 48V phantom powered
microphone via the included XLR connector and is also
compatible with virtually any wireless system.
Fleet owners of 4099s will appreciate the multiplicity
of using the microphone for a number of different
instruments simply by moving the microphone/gooseneck
part to another instrument clip from the range.
With its very flexible design for a wide variety of
mounting and positioning possibilities along with its
extremely natural sound, the 4099 is truly a musician’s
mic without equal. Continuing DPA’s heritage of sonic
excellence, this series of microphones achieves the
purest reproduction of your instrument and therefore
your full range of expression.
