DPA Microphones has once again raised the bar in miniature microphone technology with the release of the 4099 CORE+—a next-generation upgrade to its already legendary 4099 series. Built with enhanced CORE+ technology and featuring the all-new MicroLock® connector and an upgraded clip system, the 4099 CORE+ is designed to deliver unmatched clarity, consistency, and control for instrument miking in any setting.
What’s New in the 4099 CORE+?
The original DPA 4099 quickly became the industry standard for instrument microphones, loved for its sound quality, flexibility, and reliability. The CORE+ version builds on this foundation in every way:
Next-Level Audio with CORE+ Technology
CORE+ eliminates virtually all distortion across the entire dynamic range. Whether you’re capturing a whisper or a powerful brass section, the 4099 CORE+ maintains pristine audio integrity, even at peaks of 145 dB SPL. This is especially important for harmonically rich instruments such as grand pianos and horns, where even slight distortion can compromise the natural sound.
Introducing MicroLock®
The new MicroLock connector provides a compact, durable, and secure locking system, compatible with a wide range of wireless systems via DPA’s adaptors. It's built for life on the road—resistant to wear and designed to reduce accidental disconnections.
A Smarter Clip System
The re-engineered clip programme includes a brand-new Gooseneck Mount (G-MOUNT) with a two-step locking mechanism, giving users effortless one-handed positioning and improved mechanical isolation. It’s backward compatible with existing DPA clips and introduces new options for instruments including cello, bass, guitar, piano, and more.
Design Enhancements
- Matte Nextel® gooseneck coating for minimal stage reflection
- Enhanced shock mount for vibration isolation
- Updated foam design for durability
- Subtle colour markings for easy identification of SPL variants
