DPA d:vote 4099T Clip Microphone for Brass

The DPA d:vote 4099T Clip Microphone for Brass is an ideal tool for trumpet, trombone and other brass instruments, with or without mute, the 4099T effortlessly handles even the highest sound pressure levels. Its innovative mounting mechanism makes it easy to move the mic between instruments with only one hand. The 4099T is a unique clip microphone inheriting the sonic approach from the legendary DPA studio microphones to a new range of instrument microphones. The 4099 microphone and mounting system is meticulously designed and optimized for the brass family. This is to ensure the best possible mount and audio reinforcement is achieved when performing live.

Standard gooseneck length is 140 mm (5.5 in), which can be altered with the optional gooseneck extension unit, adding another 50% to the length, helping to achieve exactly the sweet spot for the instrument. From May 2012, the updated 4099 range features detachable cable from gooseneck, so it’s more convenient to mount the mic on an instrument before connecting it. Furthermore, the choice of different cable qualities makes it possible to tailor your mic to the specific task, such as choosing the heavy duty 2.2 mm cable for PA/Live gigs or the easier-to-hide, 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.
