DPA KIT-4099-DP-10C

CORE+: an evolution towards even more transparency

The 4099 CORE+ follows a continuous improvement approach: the goal is simple, to offer a clearer and more nuanced reproduction without altering the source. This CORE+ version emphasizes precision, with a "veil lifted" sensation that helps better distinguish attacks, articulations, and micro-variations in playing, including when the performer shifts from soft to more forceful playing.

In a touring setup, this pursuit of transparency has a very practical benefit: you gain definition in the mix, which often allows you to place the instrument more naturally, with fewer corrections, and maintain a stable sonic identity from one gig to another.

Who is this 10-mic kit for and in what contexts should it be used?

This Classic Touring Kit is designed for sound teams, touring musicians, orchestras, TV studios, and all organizations needing a reliable, ready-to-use microphone inventory. The "10 microphones" format is particularly relevant when you need to amplify a full section, manage multiple positions alternately, or build a homogeneous stock for quick setups.

The Loud SPL variant is recommended whenever the source is energetic: brass, percussion, amps, high-level stages, or any context where a clean and clear sound capture is required even at high volumes.

Clarity, detail, and level management: what CORE+ changes in the field

Greater clarity in the mix

The clarity and detail improvements brought by CORE+ result in better separation of elements. On stage, this helps to recover the playing intention (attacks, transients, nuances) and maintain musical presence without pushing the level. Practically, you get a more precise image and a natural feel that facilitates mixing, especially when multiple sources share the same sound space.

More usable dynamics

One of the key points highlighted for this 4099 CORE+ is the improvement across the entire dynamic range. This means the microphone remains relevant both on subtle passages and on level peaks, with a sense of continuity and control. For the sound engineer, this secures the sound capture and limits compromises between finesse and power.

A kit designed for efficiency on tour

The "Touring Kit" format targets logistical simplicity: grouping 10 microphones and their accessories to standardize setups, speed up stage changes, and reduce unforeseen issues. It is also a coherent choice when you need to reproduce a setup from one venue to another, with the same reference points and consistent capture.
