Built on DPA's next-generation CORE+ amplification technology, this supercardioid miniature condenser captures the full character of bowed and plucked strings with pristine, natural, undistorted sound - from the most delicate pianissimo passages to aggressive double stops - while its tight pickup pattern delivers exceptional isolation, off-axis rejection, and superior gain before feedback on crowded stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCORE+ technology extends the legendary CORE-by-DPA platform with an even wider dynamic range and a higher clipping point, giving the Loud SPL version headroom for peaks up to 145 dB SPL without audible distortion. The new MicroLock connector locks the low-profile 1.6 mm cable securely to the belt-clip XLR adapter, and the mic remains fully backward compatible with all previous DPA instrument clips and MicroDot accessories. IP58 certification means the capsule shrugs off dust, sweat, and humidity night after night on tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe redesigned violin clip mounts in seconds with one hand and grips the instrument gently, holding firmly without marking the finish. Combined with the locking 140 mm gooseneck and onboard shock suspension, it keeps the capsule precisely positioned over the strings while suppressing handling and body noise. The included MicroLock-to-XLR belt-clip adapter runs on standard 48 V phantom power, making the 4099 CORE+ a plug-and-play upgrade for any stage, broadcast, or recording rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCORE+ amplification technology with wider dynamic range and higher clipping point than previous CORE models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupercardioid polar pattern for high isolation, off-axis rejection, and superior gain before feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoud SPL version handles up to 145 dB SPL peak before clipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-hand-adjustable violin clip attaches gently without damaging or marking the instrument (fits violin, viola, fiddle, mandolin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroLock connector locks the cable securely; backward compatible with all DPA MicroDot clips and accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking 140 mm gooseneck with built-in shock suspension for precise, stable capsule placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP58 certified - resistant to dust, sweat, and moisture for reliable touring use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile 1.6 mm, 1.8 m cable keeps the rig nearly invisible on stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelt-clip MicroLock-to-XLR adapter runs on standard 48 V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supercardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinciple of operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 mV\/Pa; -44 dB re. 1 V\/Pa (nominal, +\/-3 dB at 1 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL (THD \u0026lt; 1%):\u003c\/strong\u003e 138 dB SPL RMS, 141 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL (THD 10%):\u003c\/strong\u003e 145 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent noise level (A-weighted):\u003c\/strong\u003e Typ. 23 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typ. 118 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector:\u003c\/strong\u003e MicroLock; XLR via included belt-clip adapter (48 V phantom power)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 m (5.9 ft) low-profile MicroLock extension, 1.6 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGooseneck length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 g (0.63 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4099 CORE+ Instrument Microphone (Loud SPL) with 140 mm gooseneck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViolin mounting clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGooseneck lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroLock extension cable, 1.6 mm, 1.8 m (5.9 ft), black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroLock to 3-pin XLR belt-clip adapter (48 V phantom power)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZip pouch and zip case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46355971932357,"sku":"DPA-4099DP1199V","price":760.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/51BN5yzpDqL.jpg?v=1781290963","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/dpa-4099-core-instrument-microphone-with-violin-mounting-clip-loud-spl","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
