DPA BC4099

An Accessory Designed to Get the Best DPA Sound on Double Bass

Renowned for their extremely natural reproduction, DPA microphones are often chosen when seeking a precise acoustic sound, usable immediately both live and in the studio. On a double bass, the quality of the result depends as much on the microphone as on its placement: the DPA BC4099 clip was designed to facilitate this fine adjustment by providing a stable attachment point at the most relevant spot. It is part of the DPA accessory ecosystem dedicated to the d:vote 4099 microphone, with a performance-oriented approach that respects the instrument.

For Double Bassists in Concert, Studio, and Demanding Conditions

The DPA BC4099 is aimed at double bassists who want to amplify their instrument with a d:vote 4099 microphone while maintaining a natural playing feel. It is ideal for stage contexts (jazz, amplified classical, contemporary music, orchestra) where a quick, repeatable, and discreet setup is needed. It is also suitable for studio situations when one wants to stabilize precise placement from take to take, while securing the attachment during movements and dynamic variations.

Recommended Placement and Secure Hold

To achieve coherent and musical capture, DPA recommends positioning the clip under the bridge, at the level of the E and G strings. This area generally balances attack, projection, and body of the instrument, while maintaining excellent definition. The clip is designed to provide a reliable and completely secure attachment for your double bass, to protect the instrument and prevent unwanted microphone shifts.

A Dedicated Accessory: Microphone Not Included

This reference corresponds only to the clip. It is intended to hold a DPA d:vote 4099 microphone (sold separately), allowing you to quickly regain optimal placement and fully exploit the natural character of DPA's capture.
