DPA 4099-DC-1-101-SM d:vote CORE 4099 Cardioid Mic, Loud SPL with Stand Mount

Part of DPA Microphones' d:vote™ 4099 series with onboard CORE technology, the 4099-DC-1-101-SM is an instrument microphone that's designed for use with loud SPL sources.

It comes supplied with an SM4099 stand mount for gooseneck; although DPA's d:vote instrument mics are often attached directly to a specific instrument, many users have asked for the option to mount it on a standard microphone stand, so now the d:vote instrument microphone's unrivalled sound is now available for you while easily mounted on a mic stand. This mount includes a standard 3/8" thread that also fits smoothly with DPA's elegant floor stand series. The top of the holder has a 360° turn-around option on a ball joint.

Truly a 'musician's mic' without equal, this series enables you to achieve the purest reproduction of your instrument. These mics feature a supercardioid polar pattern for superior gain-before-feedback.

Known for their discreet size and elegant design, they come in a lightweight yet rugged and durable housing. The versatile gooseneck provides stable and repeatable positioning. The mic can be easily unclipped and repositioned or moved to another mic stand (or instrument with the proper clip).

It features a MicroDot cable termination which opens the door for use with many leading wireless mic systems using a range of avalable adapters (adapters sold separately). These adapters provide you with flexible, simple, and affordable possibilities. No longer are you bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just swap your adapter, rather than incurring the cost of a whole new microphone. And when you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.

A powerful technology at the heart of DPA miniature microphones. From pianissimo to forte, you'll experience a more clear and open sound, with minimized distortion and increased dynamic range. CORE adds another layer of sound quality, from the ‘highest of the highs’ to the ‘lowest of the lows,’ further distancing these mics from their competitors.
