A modernized clip-on mic standard with CORE+
Over time, the 4099 has established itself as a reference for close miking of acoustic instruments, thanks to its ability to isolate the instrument in noisy environments while maintaining credible musicality. This 4099 CORE+ version continues this legacy by emphasizing cleaner reproduction, with smoother handling of strong bow attacks and dynamic variations. The result: a microphone that preserves your instrument's identity while offering reliable stage performance and a usable track in recording.Who is this microphone best suited for, and in which applications?
The DPA 4099 CORE+ with violin clip is aimed at musicians who want a discreet, quick-to-install solution that remains consistent from one concert to another. It is particularly suitable for situations where precision and isolation matter: amplified orchestras, folk ensembles, bluegrass, contemporary music, TV sets, or live studio recording. Thanks to its close placement, it helps achieve a present and defined sound, with better feedback control than a distant stand-mounted microphone.For sound engineering, it is also an effective choice when the "ideal" placement of a static microphone is impossible (crowded stage, framing constraints, stage mobility). The clip allows fine adjustment of angle and distance to balance brightness, bow texture, and body, without imposing a particular posture on the musician.

Questions frequently asked
Is the DPA 4099-DP-1-199-V suitable for violin and viola?
This model comes with a violin clip and the description mentions its use on violin or viola, particularly for playing with wide dynamic range.
Does the clip of the 4099 CORE+ interfere with playing?
The violin clip is designed to remain soft to the touch and allows multiple mounting positions. Its flexible arm permits angle and distance adjustments without imposing a specific posture.
What is the polar pattern of this DPA violin microphone?
The electret condenser capsule adopts a supercardioid polar pattern, suitable for isolating the instrument in a noisy stage environment.
Does the DPA 4099 CORE+ Loud SPL withstand strong bow attacks?
The Loud SPL configuration is designed to handle high sound pressure levels. It helps preserve transients during strong attacks, accents, or double stops. CORE+ technology aims for cleaner reproduction of these dynamic variations.
Does this clip-on microphone help reduce feedback on stage?
Thanks to mounting close to the source and the supercardioid polar pattern, it offers better feedback control than a stand microphone placed at a distance.
