A Modern Standard for Instrument Sound Capture

The 4099 has become a benchmark for capturing acoustic instruments, from piano to strings, woodwinds, brass, or percussion. The "CORE" version raises the bar with a more open sound image and controlled dynamics, whether in the studio, rehearsal, or on large stages. IP58 certified, it withstands the rigors of live performance while preserving the subtlety of timbres.

For Whom and For What Uses?

Designed for musicians, backliners, and sound engineers, the 4099 CORE High SPL adapts to a wide range of instruments and environments. Its dedicated clip secures positioning without damaging the finish, and the gooseneck allows precise and repeatable placements. For drums, very powerful percussion, or trumpet, an Extreme SPL version exists within the same series.
