DPA - 4099 CORE+ Loud SPL, Clamp

The DPA 4099 CORE+ Loud SPL Clamp embodies the excellence of DPA's acoustic instrument recording expertise. Equipped with CORE+ technology, it captures every nuance of sound with exemplary fidelity, guaranteeing precise, natural reproduction both on stage and in the studio. Its design enables it to handle very high sound pressure levels, up to 145 dB SPL peak, while maintaining minimal distortion and exceptional clarity.

Featuring a pre-polarised condenser capsule and supercardioid polar pattern, the 4099 CORE+ Loud SPL offers optimum isolation between instruments. Its extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a slight boost of +2 dB around 10-12 kHz, brings out the natural harmonics and brilliance of the sound, while preserving a neutral tonal balance. It is ideal for close miking of instruments such as saxophones, trombones, percussion, or any other instrument requiring flexible mounting.

The CM-CLIP supplied with this version is extremely versatile. Designed to fit a range of instrument diameters and shapes, it can be fitted quickly and securely. Its innovative clamping mechanism allows the microphone to be moved from one instrument to another with just one hand, without the risk of accidental loosening. This practical system is particularly useful on stage, where rapid installation and stable placement are essential.

The 140mm gooseneck is both flexible and robust, ensuring precise, repeatable microphone positioning and optimum control over sound balance and proximity. The redesigned internal suspension effectively reduces mechanical vibrations and structure-borne noise, ensuring a clean signal, even on loud instruments or when moving around on stage.

The 4099 CORE+ also benefits from IP58-certified construction, protecting it from moisture and dust. Lightweight and unobtrusive, it blends in visually on stage while ensuring exemplary reliability, gig after gig. Thanks to its detachable MicroLock connector, it can be used wired via an XLR adapter or integrated into a DPA wireless system (adapters not included).

Combining sonic accuracy, durability and modularity, the DPA 4099 CORE+ Loud SPL Clamp is a versatile and safe choice for musicians and sound engineers looking for a flexible, robust and high-quality solution for recording acoustic instruments.
