DPA Microphones d:vote 4099 Clip Microphone for Brass

An ideal tool for trumpet, trombone and other brass instruments, with or without mute, the d:vote 4099T effortlessly handles even the highest sound pressure levels.  Representing years of research and development, the 4099 condenser microphones feature supercardioid polar patterns for superior gain-before-feedback. Fully capable of handling the intense sound pressure levels from a trumpet, these microphones live up to their pedigree with sound as accurate as DPA’s other world-class microphones.  Through the use of their extensive adapter system, the 4099 is compatible with virtually any wireless system, and can also be used as a standard 48V phantom powered microphone via the included XLR connector

Despite their tiny, discreet size and elegant, lightweight design, 4099 models are extremely rugged. The versatile gooseneck provides stable and repeatable positioning.  The 4099 microphone and mounting system is meticulously designed and optimized for the brass family. This is to ensure the best possible instrument mounting and audio reinforcement is achieved when performing live. The innovative mounting mechanism makes it easy to move the mic between instruments with only one hand.  The mic can also be easily unclipped and repositioned, or moved to another instrument.  The mounting system is designed to never blemish or scratch the finish of your instrument. The flexible design supports a wide variety of mounting and positioning possibilities. 

DPA Microphones d:vote 4099 Clip Microphone for Brass features:

• CORE by DPA technology:  CORE by DPA is a powerful new technology at the heart of DPA miniature microphones.  CORE by DPA minimizes distortion for increased clarity and openness, and adds another layer of sound quality from pianissimo to forte. 
• Supercardiod polar pattern:  more sensitive to sound coming from front.  Unique DPA capsule technique doesn't color the sound like other supercardioids.  It bypasses the colorization of sound coming from the sides and/or rear of the mic, and reduces the sensitivity to these angles- thereby offering perfect sound stages. 
• High SPLs:  Handles extreme sound pressure levels so you can capture the sound of your instrument without any distortion. 
• Wireless compatible
• Flexible and easy one-hand mounting
• Fits any mute
• Detachable cable and versatile gooseneck extender
