Essential Information About the DPA 4099 CORE+ Loud SPL Clip-On Microphone with Guitar Clip
- CORE+ Capsule: cleaner and more faithful capture, with optimized handling of high dynamics for a natural acoustic sound.
- Loud SPL Version: designed to handle high levels without distortion, ideal for energetic playing, pick attack, or stage situations.
- Dedicated Guitar Clip: stable and instrument-friendly mounting, with precise positioning close to the area to be captured.
- Almost Unlimited Placement: flexible gooseneck to aim exactly at the projection area of the guitar, mandolin, ukulele, or dobro.
A DPA Reference for Instrument Sound Capture, Modernized with CORE+ Technology
The 4099 series has established itself as an essential solution for amplifying and recording acoustic instruments with a "studio microphone" approach... but in miniature format. The 4099 CORE+ continues this philosophy: maintaining the precision and musicality that made the range famous, while introducing an evolution focused on signal transparency. This CORE+ version follows on from the 4099 models intended for demanding musicians and sound engineers who want a natural sound, excellent separation, and great consistency from one performance to another.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses? A Discreet, Precise Microphone Ready for Stage and Studio
The DPA 4099 CORE+ Loud SPL with guitar clip is aimed at acoustic guitarists (folk, fingerstyle, bluegrass), multi-instrumentalists, and technicians seeking a reliable, quick-to-set-up, and high-performing solution in real-world conditions. Live, it offers greater control: the microphone stays in place, the capture remains stable, and you get a consistent sound even when changing venues or patches. In the studio, it becomes an excellent complement to a condenser microphone, especially to enhance attack, definition, or isolate the instrument in a multi-track session.
Thanks to the guitar clip, you can exploit different capture zones depending on your goal: more warmth towards the soundboard, more precision towards the projection area, or greater articulation depending on orientation. This placement flexibility is particularly appreciated on mandolin, ukulele, and dobro, where every centimeter changes the balance between brightness, body, and presence.

Questions frequently asked
Is the DPA 4099-DP-1-199-G suitable for an acoustic guitar?
The guitar clip is designed for mounting on an acoustic guitar and provides stable pickup. This setup is also recommended for mandolin, ukulele, and dobro.
What polar pattern does this instrument microphone have?
The supercardioid polar pattern enhances instrument isolation and helps limit pickup of nearby sources. It meets the needs of stage use with monitors or multitrack sessions.
Can it be used on stage at high volume?
The Loud SPL version is designed to handle high sound pressure levels when the microphone is placed close to the instrument. CORE+ technology aims to preserve transients and micro-dynamics during aggressive playing. This design is especially suitable for pick playing rhythms and environments with close percussion.
What is the frequency response of the 4099 CORE+?
The specified frequency response ranges from 80 Hz to 16 kHz.
How to adjust the microphone placement on a guitar?
The gooseneck combined with the guitar clip allows directing the electret capsule towards different areas of the soundboard. Positioning towards the projection area can enhance accuracy, while a different orientation can alter the balance between warmth and articulation.
