DPA 4099-DP-2-201-D

The DPA 4099 CORE+ Mic, Loud SPL with Clip for Drums is a supercardioid clip-on condenser microphone tailored for drum kits, offering 109dB of dynamic range, 152dB SPL handling, and distortion-free audio capture through CORE+ technology for both live and studio applications.

CORE+ Technology for Maximum Clarity

The integrated CORE+ amplifier completely eliminates distortion across the full dynamic range, preserving the true character of drum transients and tonal subtleties even under extreme SPL. Unlike previous CORE technology, which limited distortion to under 1% THD, CORE+ suppresses distortion to levels that are virtually unmeasurable, ensuring only system noise remains. This results in a transparent and highly detailed drum sound, suitable for high-fidelity mixing and performance.

Exceptional SPL Handling and Dynamic Response

Designed to withstand intense sound pressure levels up to 152dB before clipping, the 4099 CORE+ is ideal for close-miking drums in loud performance environments. With a 109dB dynamic range, it captures both subtle nuances and aggressive hits with accuracy, maintaining full transient detail and dynamic contrast.
