DPA 4099-DP-1-199-S

A modern "clip-on" solution in the spirit of close miking

The 4099 CORE+ Mic Loud SPL with Clip for Saxophone fits into an approach that has become essential both live and in the studio: close miking using a miniature microphone attached directly to the instrument. This philosophy allows for a very usable signal, with pronounced presence and consistent capture from one performance to another, while reducing variations related to microphone stand placement.

In practice, this type of microphone is aimed at both demanding musicians and sound engineers looking for a clean, quick-to-install, and coherent solution on stage. The CORE+ designation emphasizes precise capture and controlled reproduction when the instrument shifts from subtle dynamics to more aggressive attacks.

For whom and for what uses: stage, studio, rehearsal, and recording

This clip microphone is an excellent choice if you need a saxophone microphone that follows you everywhere: concerts, orchestras, big bands, brass bands, studio, rehearsals, or video recording. Attaching it to the instrument simplifies space management, avoids placement constraints in front of a music stand, and allows the musician to maintain natural gestures.

On stage, proximity to the source helps achieve a more direct sound, often easier to integrate into the mix, especially in noisy environments (drums, amps, monitors). In the studio, it becomes a relevant alternative when seeking a very defined capture or when wanting to limit bleed. For saxophonists who double (soprano/alto/tenor/baritone), the announced compatibility with the entire saxophone family makes this model particularly practical.
