Introducing the DPA 4099 CORE+: Unrivalled Clarity and Flexibility for Instrument Miking

Adlib is excited to announce the immediate availability of the revised DPA 4099 Instrument Microphone, now upgraded with CORE+ technology and an improved clip system. This upgraded microphone is available to purchase now through Adlib.

The 4099 has long been a go-to for musicians and engineers who require discreet, high-performance instrument mics. With the introduction of CORE+ technology, DPA has taken an already exceptional microphone and elevated it even further.

Why Upgrade to the 4099 CORE+?

The 4099 CORE+ represents a significant step forward in miniaturised microphone design. While maintaining the compact form and adaptability that made the original 4099 so popular, the CORE+ version delivers improved sonic accuracy, greater headroom, and enhanced isolation.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • CORE+ Clarity
    The redesigned preamp significantly reduces distortion throughout the dynamic range, maintaining the instrument's natural sound even at extreme SPLs.
  • Improved Isolation
    An upgraded shock mount and supercardioid polar pattern minimise bleed and structure-borne noise, offering cleaner signal capture on busy stages.
  • Redesigned Gooseneck and Clips
    A new locking mechanism makes one-handed mic positioning simpler and more secure. The updated clip range also supports more instruments and mounting options with enhanced stability.
  • Reliable Connectivity
    The new MicroLock® connector improves durability and compatibility across wired and wireless systems.

One Microphone, Countless Applications

From live orchestras and touring bands to studio sessions and broadcast environments, the 4099 CORE+ is designed for professional flexibility. The redesigned clip program ensures a uniform sound across various instruments, including strings, brass, and percussion, by allowing for rapid adaptation of the microphone.

For those working across loud and delicate sources, the 4099 CORE+ is available in two sensitivity versions:

  • Loud SPL (6 mV/Pa) – ideal for most instruments.
  • Extreme SPL (2 mV/Pa) – optimised for very high-output sources such as drums and brass (available later in 2025).
