Key Features
Natural and transparent sound with exceptional dynamics. The DPA CORE 4099 instrument microphone is the perfect choice for any professional sound application.
Capable of handling up to 142dB SPL before clipping, the CORE 4099 microphone is a must-have for close-mic'ing of very loud acoustic instruments. (As a point of reference, a jet taking off is roughly 130dB). Thanks to the class-leading capabilities, the CORE 4099 microphone for cellos lets you capture every detail of your instrument with unparalleled results. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the 4099 is designed to deliver.
This system consists of a single 4099 microphone with the legendary CORE mic technology, an intuitive clip for mounting the mic to your cello, a 2.2mm diameter cable extension, and a MicroDot to 3-pin XLR adapter.

Found at the heart of many of DPA's miniature microphone configurations is the advanced CORE by DPA technology. This provides minimised distortion, an expanded dynamic range and an overall improved sound quality. CORE by DPA enhances the exceptional performance of DPA's existing microphone designs.
By minimizing distortion, CORE by DPA exhibits a significantly clearer and more open sound throughout the entire range of the microphone. On top of this, the increased dynamic range creates an increased workable range, and the microphone becomes much less vulnerable to overload. The increase allows you to capture extremely loud sound sources, such as screams, without experiencing harmonic distortion.
The CORE 4099 microphone is suitable for sound pressure levels of up to 142dB before clipping occurs. These powerful SPL capabilities make the 4099 perfect for close-mic'ing applications, as well as surface mounting on a wide variety of instruments. You can be sure that the sound of your instrument is the focus of the captured sound, ensuring absolute clarity without the worry and hassle of distortion.
Close-mic'ing techniques ensure that you're able to capture the highest possible sound pressure and therefore every detail of the instrument's tonality. As a result, ambient background noise is also reduced, with the possibility of acoustic feedback being kept to an absolute minimum.
If you want to capture the best sound from your acoustic cello, the CORE 4099 is the way to go. This powerful microphone is optimized for your instrument, and comes complete with a handy clip that can be mounted above or below the strings behind the bridge. This mounting solution is unobtrusive and does not affect the sound of your cello, and allows you to accurately capture a sound that offers a much more natural tonality compared to an internal microphone or pickup. The cello configuration of the 4099 has been meticulously designed to ensure the best possible mounting and audio reinforcement during live performances, and gives you the ability to position your microphone in the sweet spot between the bridge and the fingerboard for excellent string sounds with high audio separation.
''There is no single mic model that could outperform the at all positions, especially if we consider the distinct advantages at exacting placement, diminished leakage and freedom of movement for the performers.'' - Prosound News
''The DPA 4099 supercardioid instrument microphones are wonderful additions to any appropriate acoustic instrumentalist or live sound engineer’s arsenal of microphones. They are simple and easy to mount and demount, sound really good, are supremely fit for purpose, and set a new benchmark for high-quality, clip-on instrument microphones in live and recording environments.'' - Performing Musician
