DPA - 4099 CORE+ Extreme SPL, Cuivres

The DPA 4099 CORE+ Extreme SPL for Trumpet and Trombone is specially designed for musicians who want faithful, stable reproduction of the sound of their instrument, even under the most intense playing conditions. Built around CORE+ technology, it pushes back the limits of acoustic recording by offering a dynamic range of 109 dB and a pressure tolerance of up to 152 dB SPL. This robustness ensures remarkably accurate recording, without distortion or loss of naturalness, even in the middle of a solo or fortissimo passage.

The pre-polarised electret capsule delivers a clear, homogenous and balanced signal across the entire spectrum, while the supercardioid polar pattern effectively isolates the direct sound of the instrument, reducing interference from other musicians on stage. Thanks to its extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the 4099 CORE+ reproduces both the low frequencies of the trombone and the brilliance and high harmonics of the trumpet, with a particularly natural reproduction at the top end of the spectrum thanks to a slight accentuation between 10 and 12 kHz.

The shock-absorbing suspension system and new gooseneck guarantee optimum mechanical isolation, reducing vibration and noise transmitted by the instrument. The mechanical design of the 4099 CORE+ ensures smooth handling and stable attachment, even during the rapid movements typical of live performances. The STC4099 clip supplied allows quick and secure installation on the bell of trumpets, trombones and other brass instruments, without the risk of damaging the surface of the instrument. It offers flexible orientation, allowing the capsule to be placed at the ideal point to capture the natural projection of sound.

The IP58 certification of the 4099 CORE+ makes it resistant to dust and humidity, a major advantage when touring or performing outdoors. Its discreet design, low weight and non-reflective matt finish make it virtually invisible on stage, while ensuring maximum comfort for the musician. The detachable MicroDot connector ensures compatibility with all DPA adapters (DAD6001-BC, DAD4099-BC, etc.), offering great flexibility of use with or without wires.

Thanks to these innovations, the DPA 4099 CORE+ Extreme SPL Trumpet/Trombone stands out as a professional reference solution for brass instruments. It guarantees a rich, accurate sound, faithful to the natural dynamics of the instrument, whether live, in the studio or in rehearsal.
