DPA 4099-DC-1-199-G 4099 Instrument Microphone with Clip for Acoustic Guitar

Despite its tiny, discreet size and elegant, lightweight design, it's extremely rugged, and the versatile gooseneck provides stable and repeatable positioning. It can be easily unclipped and repositioned or moved to another instrument with only one hand, while the mounting system is specifically designed to never mar or scratch your instrument's finish.

Through the use of DPA's extensive adapter system, it's compatible with virtually any wireless system and can also be used as a standard 48V phantom-powered microphone via the included XLR connector.

Fleet owners of 4099s will appreciate the multiplicity of being able to use the microphone for a number of different instruments simply by moving the microphone/gooseneck part to another instrument clip from the range.

With its very flexible design for a wide variety of mounting and positioning possibilities along with its extremely natural sound, the 4099 is truly a musician’s mic without equal. It continues DPA's heritage of sonic excellence, achieving the purest reproduction of your instrument and therefore your full range of expression.

From pianissimo to forte, you'll experience clear open sound, with minimized distortion and increased dynamic range. the 4099-DC-1-199-G captures everything

from the ‘highest of the highs to the ‘lowest of the lows,’ further distancing these mics from their competitors.

The standard gooseneck length is 5.5" (140mm), which can be altered with the optional gooseneck extension unit, adding another 50% to the length, helping to achieve exactly the sweet spot for the instrument.

The 4099-DC-1-199-G features a cable that's detachable from the gooseneck, so it's more convenient to mount the mic on an instrument before connecting it. Furthermore, the choice of different cable qualities makes it possible to tailor your mic to the specific task, such as choosing the heavy-duty 2.2 mm cable for PA/Live gigs or the easier-to-hide, thinner miniature cable for personal mounting on instruments where you don't want the cable weight to interfere with your performance. In the event of a cable break, service is fast and easy.

A wide range of connection adapters for use with the cable's integral MicroDot connector makes it possible to use DPA miniature microphones with all leading pro wireless systems available plus 48 V Phantom.

DPA has specific adapters for AKG, Audio Ltd., Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Electro-Voice, Lectrosonics, Micron, Mipro, Pastega, Telex ProStar, Ramsa, Samson, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Toa, Vega and other systems. Each adapter for your cordless microphone is guaranteed to perfectly mate to your system of choice (adapters sold separately)
