Innovative CORE by DPA microphone technology

Found at the heart of many of DPA's miniature microphone configurations is the advanced CORE by DPA technology. This provides minimised distortion, an expanded dynamic range and an overall improved sound quality. CORE by DPA enhances the exceptional performance of DPA's existing microphone designs.

By minimizing distortion, CORE by DPA exhibits a significantly clearer and more open sound throughout the entire range of the microphone. On top of this, the increased dynamic range creates an increased workable range, and the microphone becomes much less vulnerable to overload. The increase of 14dB allows you to even capture screams without experiencing harmonic distortion.

Capable of handling loud sound sources

The CORE 4099 microphone is suitable for sound pressure levels of up to 142dB before clipping occurs. Perfect for close-mic'ing applications and surface mounting on a wide variety of instruments. Ensure your instrument is the focus of the sound that is captured by the microphone, with no distortion and the crystal-clear clarity it deserves.

Close-mic'ing techniques ensure that you're able to capture the highest possible sound pressure and therefore every detail of the instrument's tonality. As a result, ambient background noise is also reduced and the possibility of acoustical feedback is kept to a minimum.

Convenient and versatile positioning

The CORE 4099 microphone is supplied with a universal clip that allows you to attach the mic to your instrument. The hook-and-loop fastener can be easily adjusted, is non-permanent but remains secure and does not damage your instrument.

Reviews

They are simple and easy to mount and demount, sound really good, are supremely fit for purpose, and set a new benchmark for high-quality, clip-on instrument microphones in live and recording environments.'' - Performing Musician
