Captures dynamic brass performance with clarity
The 4099 CORE+ for brass captures the energy, brightness and power of your instrument without distortion or compression. DPA’s CORE+ technology neutralises distortion across the dynamic range, allowing loud notes to come through cleanly and softer sections to remain detailed and expressive. The result is a natural, open sound that doesn’t flatten out under pressure.
This makes the mic a great fit for brass players who need consistent, high-quality sound on stage and in the studio. Your tone is accurately reproduced and stays balanced, helping engineers and audiences hear exactly what you’re playing. The mic handles high SPLs easily, so you won’t need to pull back when you play at full power.
Mounts securely to brass bells with ease
Equipped with the STC4099 clip, this mic attaches directly to the bell of your brass instrument. It’s designed to grip firmly without damaging the finish or shifting during play. The lightweight clip holds the mic in the optimal position, making it ideal for players who move or perform in energetic live settings.
The gooseneck section allows for quick, one-handed adjustments. Once positioned, the locking mechanism ensures the mic stays where you set it. The mount also includes vibration-dampening material that helps reduce handling noise and contact interference from the bell. This design helps preserve a clean signal and ensures consistent sound from start to finish.
Reduces noise and improves isolation in loud environments
Brass instruments are often surrounded by other loud sources, especially in live bands or ensembles. The 4099 CORE+ combats this with a supercardioid polar pattern that focuses on your instrument while rejecting background noise from the sides and rear. This helps maintain clarity, even in complex sound environments.
In addition to its acoustic design, the mic also limits unwanted sound physically. A built-in shock-mount reduces the effect of vibrations and mechanical contact, while the matte black finish prevents glare and distraction on stage. These features work together to give you a controlled, professional sound in any setting.
Reliable, compact and built for real-world use
The 4099 CORE+ for brass is small, rugged and designed for daily performance. Its compact size helps it stay out of the way during play and keeps setups clean and simple. The clip and gooseneck are built from durable materials that hold up to repeated adjustment and transport, making it a dependable part of your kit.
The MicroLock connector keeps your cable connection secure and stable, even during movement. It also makes the mic compatible with both wired and wireless systems using DPA’s optional adapters. This flexibility allows you to move between venues and rigs with confidence, knowing your mic will always fit the setup.
