Overview

The d:vote is already the recognized standard for this type of microphone and the CORE version adds just another layer of sound quality that further distances this mic from its competitors. d:vote CORE 4099 brings more clarity and details to your music, across the entire dynamic range. Anyone looking for the very highest sound quality should choose CORE - every musician, live sound engineer and anyone else who takes pride in quality audio. CORE by DPA is a powerful new technology at the heart of DPA miniature microphones. We've minimized distortion. From pianissimo to forte, you will experience increased clarity and openness.

A perfect kit for your needs
There are two different types of kits available and they can each be purchases with 4 or 10 microphones. Ready for on-the-road use for rental companies, musicians or theatres, the d:vote Classic Touring Kit offers microphones and a selection of accessories selected for typical use in an acoustic music setting. This kit features a number of d:vote CORE 4099 Instrument Microphones for Loud SPL, which are perfect for use on a wide range of instruments - from the flute to the guitar and everything in between.

About d:vote CORE 4099 Instrument Microphones
Both the Loud and Extreme-SPL versions of the d:vote CORE 4099 have a supercardioid polar pattern for high rejection and superior gain-before-feedback. The mic also retains a uniform off-axis frequency response to ensure a high-energy, clear live performance.

The d:vote CORE 4099 also features an enhanced shock mount design, providing excellent isolation from handling noise and rumble. Cables are available in heavy duty or lightweight versions, depending on the application - both are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. A versatile, integrated gooseneck extender provides easy and repeatable mounting.

The mics can be easily unclipped and repositioned or moved to another instrument. The mounting system is designed to never blemish or scratch the finish of your instrument. The flexible design supports a wide variety of mounting and positioning possibilities.
