A reference for instrument recording, now in CORE+
The 4099 has established itself as a standard for capturing acoustic sources thanks to its miniature format, sound consistency, and ease of installation on the instrument. With CORE+, this approach gains finesse: the goal is to preserve the woody character of the double bass while providing a clearer reading of nuances, attacks, and sustain. In its Loud SPL version and with the double bass clip, it stands as a "ready-to-play" solution to achieve a usable sound quickly, without compromising musicality.
For whom and for what uses on double bass
This microphone is aimed at double bass players who want a credible acoustic sound on stage without relying on a stand microphone, which is often cumbersome and sensitive to movement. It is also suitable for studio contexts where a close, controllable, and unobtrusive capture is desired, especially to complement an ambient microphone or to secure a take in live playing conditions.
The 4099 CORE+ is particularly relevant if you alternate pizzicato and arco, play in amplified ensembles (modern jazz, contemporary music, amplified orchestras), or need stability and repeatability from session to session.
