About DPA Microphones 4099V

For violin, banjo, and viola enthusiasts, the d:vote 4099V Supercardioid Clip Microphone with XLR Adapter is a game-changer. This unique clip microphone, designed with the utmost care for string instruments, seamlessly integrates the legendary sonic quality of DPA studio microphones into a compact, unobtrusive design.

The 4099V microphone and its mounting system are meticulously optimized for the string family, ensuring superior audio reinforcement for live performances. It is compatible with instruments having a body depth between 35 mm (1.4 in) and 55 mm (2.1 in).

The 4099V is a testament to years of research and development, featuring supercardioid polar patterns for exceptional gain-before-feedback. It is fully equipped to handle the dynamic range and subtle details of the violin, delivering sound as accurate as DPA's world-class microphones.

Despite its discreet size and elegant design, the 4099V is robust and durable. The flexible gooseneck ensures stable and repeatable positioning, while the clip allows for easy repositioning or movement to another instrument with just one hand. The mounting system is designed to protect the finish of your instrument from scratches or damage.

The 4099V is compatible with virtually any wireless system through DPA Microphones' extensive adapter system. It can also function as a standard 48V phantom powered microphone via the included XLR connector. This versatility makes the 4099V a valuable asset for fleet owners, allowing for use with a variety of instruments by simply moving the microphone/gooseneck to another instrument clip from the range.

With its flexible design for a wide range of mounting and positioning options, and its natural sound reproduction, the 4099V stands out as a musician's microphone without equal. It continues DPA's tradition of sonic excellence, achieving the purest reproduction of your instrument and your full range of expression.

Key features of the 4099V include superior gain-before-feedback, wireless compatibility, easy one-hand mounting, and a gentle instrument holder. It also comes with a detachable cable and a versatile gooseneck extender.

The standard gooseneck length is 140 mm (5.5 in), which can be extended by 50% with the optional gooseneck extension unit, helping to achieve the perfect sweet spot for the instrument. The updated 4099 range features a detachable cable from the gooseneck, making it easier to mount the mic on an instrument before connecting it.

The 4099V offers a choice of different cable qualities, allowing you to customize your mic to the specific task. Choose the heavy-duty 2.2 mm cable for PA/Live gigs or the thinner miniature cable for personal mounting on instruments where you don't want the cable weight to interfere with your performance. In case of cable break, service is easy and fast.

The 4099V also comes with a wide range of connection adapters, making it possible to use DPA miniature microphones with all professional UHF, VHF, or digital wireless systems available, plus 48 V Phantom. DPA offers specific adapters for AKG, Audio Ltd., Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Electro-Voice, Lectrosonics, Micron, Mipro, Pastega, Telex ProStar, Ramsa, Samson, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Toa, Vega, and other systems.
