DPA 4099-DC-1-101-P Stereo Microphone Kit for Piano

With DPA Microphones' 4099-DC-1-101-P piano mic solution, it's easy to achieve a high level of isolation on stage while still providing clean, transparent stereo sound quality along with realistic dynamics. Part of DPA's 4099 series, and designed for use with Loud sound pressure level (SPL) sources, the 4099-DC-1-101-P is a complete system, including a pair of sensitivity-selected 4099 microphones magnetically mounted on goosenecks, enabling the most accurate capture of a piano. With its low profile and unobtrusive design, it's ideal in closed-lid scenarios for capturing true acoustic piano sound in a live environment.

The magnetic mount/gooseneck system offers versatility and provides stable and repeatable positioning; it can easily be positioned at different angles via the flexible gooseneck for reproducing a variety of sound nuances. A flexible design supports a wide variety of mounting and positioning possibilities. Mounts can be implemented on various other instruments with magnetic surfaces, and is designed to never blemish or scratch the finish of your instrument.

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. Add another layer of sound quality, from the ‘highest of the highs’ to the ‘lowest of the lows,’ further distancing these mics from their competitors.
