At the heart of the 4099 CORE+ is DPA's updated CORE+ technology, which provides a wider dynamic range and increased headroom. With a peak SPL handling of 152 dB before clipping, this Extreme SPL version (identified by a yellow marking on the gooseneck) easily manages very loud instruments and powerful drum strikes, ensuring a natural and distortion-free signal. The microphone's supercardioid polar pattern offers well-balanced isolation from surrounding instruments, enhanced by a new advanced shockmount and improved gooseneck design for exceptional rejection of vibration and handling noise.

The integrated gooseneck mount (G-MOUNT) provides intuitive, one-handed operation and precise mic positioning. It enhances stability and isolation, streamlines the setup process, and ensures reliable performance under the pressures of live sound. A refined windscreen and low-reflective finish help maintain an unobtrusive visual profile, on camera or onstage.

The 4099 CORE+ is built to adapt. Its upgraded mounting system offers a wide range of clip options (available separately) that securely attach to virtually any acoustic instrument—no matter the shape or size—without causing damage. The detachable MicroLock connector provides compatibility with a variety of wireless and wired systems, while IP58 certification ensures the microphone stands up to moisture, dust, and the rigors of travel. With a single mic body and a selection of dedicated clips, the 4099 CORE+ offers an elegant and scalable solution for everything from solo gigs to orchestral performances and rock-and-roll tours.

• CORE+ technology: offers a wider dynamic range (10 dB more than previous CORE models) and 3 dB higher clipping point for greater headroom and detail
• Extreme SPL version: withstands up to 152 dB SPL, ideal for close-miking very loud instruments and percussion
• Supercardioid polar pattern: provides focused pickup with excellent rejection of off-axis sound for clear, isolated capture with less bleed and feedback
• G-MOUNT gooseneck mechanism: enables precise placement with one-handed operation and improved vibration isolation
• Advanced shockmount: reduces structure-borne noise and stage vibration for a cleaner, more consistent sound
• Flexible mounting system: Securely attaches to a wide variety of instruments with improved grip and minimal impact on surfaces
• MicroLock connector: ensures a stable connection and allows for quick changes between wireless and wired setups
