The DPA 4099 CORE+ Drum is a world-class miniature condenser microphone designed to capture the natural tone, precision, and dynamic detail of drums and percussion instruments. Ideal for both live performances and studio recording, it delivers outstanding clarity and definition even at extremely high sound pressure levels, without distortion.
Based on DPA’s advanced CORE+ technology, it ensures extremely low distortion and a wide dynamic range, accurately reproducing everything from subtle ghost notes to powerful hits such as rimshots, heavy toms, and snare attacks, while maintaining the instrument’s natural sonic character in every situation.
The specially designed drum mounting system with a rim clip attaches securely to the drum hoop, providing stable and reliable positioning without interfering with the drummer’s performance or playing technique. The flexible gooseneck allows precise adjustment of the microphone position for optimal sound capture from each drum.
The package includes an XLR adapter, enabling direct connection to mixing consoles or audio interfaces, making it an excellent choice for professional use both on stage and in the studio.
