June 11, 2025: DPA Microphones Unveils 4099 CORE+ Instrument Microphone ― DPA Microphones is crushing the game with the unveiling of their newest and finest instrument microphone, the 4099 CORE+. This cutting-edge creation raises the bar for clarity, control, and versatility! Ready to rock and roll? Let's dive in!
This newcomer leans on decades of wisdom and recent technical advancements to shatter performance limits. With a whopping 10dB of boosted dynamic range and a higher clipping point than its predecessor, the 4099 CORE+ can capture the entire musical nuance of any instrument with impeccable detail, even in high-stress situations.
What's the secret sauce? Enter DPA's CORE+ technology—an innovative and patent-protected masterpiece that elevates mic sound to an unprecedented level of distortion-free perfection. DPA's CORE+ eradicates the non-linearities generated by a microphone's membrane and electronic components, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in sound capture.
"The DPA 4099 has been a go-to choice among professional musicians and sound engineers, but this new model lifts the bar even higher," says Helga Volha Somava, Product Management Director at DPA Microphones. "By preserving the legendary character of the iconic 4099 while building upon it with groundbreaking tech, DPA Microphones reinforces its commitment to pushing boundaries, quality, and the demands of working audio professionals. Whether on stage or in the studio, the 4099 CORE+ delivers an instrument's true voice with clarity, sans coloration or compromise. This ain't a replacement—it's an upgrade!"
To tantalize us even further, DPA has also conjured a completely revamped mounting system, designed for a seamless and secure user experience across a broader array of instruments. The innovative new G-MOUNT (Gooseneck Mount) boasts a two-step locking mechanism, allowing precision placement with just one hand and significantly improving vibration isolation and overall stability. The new mount is compatible with many existing DPA clips, ensuring a smooth transition for current users.
Select clips have received love, too, with refinements aimed at boosting usability, adaptability, and acoustic performance. A fresh addition to the family, the XLR-MOUNT, offers expanded functionality by accommodating 19mm pencil mics or XLR adapters.
Like all CORE+ by DPA microphones, the revamped 4099 also flaunts the sturdy and dependable MicroLock connector, guaranteeing exceptional connection reliability in live settings. In addition, a refined shock mount and improved wind protection revamp the microphone system for superior performance in high-pressure environments.
