Discreet Upright Bass Mic with CORE+ Amp Technology
DPA's CORE+ amplifier design brings improved specs — lower distortion and increased dynamic range — to the already celebrated line of DPA d:vote 4099 miniature microphones. This results in even greater clarity, openness, and consistency onstage, for studio-quality sound in virtually any live environment.
The DPA d:vote CORE+ 4099B acoustic upright bass mic promises clean, faithful sound and high gain-before-feedback courtesy of its tight supercardioid polar pattern. The unobtrusive CORE+ 4099B clamps securely to your strings behind the bridge using a special clip, while its articulating gooseneck positions the mic right in the sweet spot — all without blocking sight lines or cluttering your stage. DPA is well regarded for the quality of its studio mics. Now you can take DPA performance to go with the DPA d:vote CORE+ 4099B upright bass mic.
