10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

DPA CORE+ 4099 Instrument Microphone, Cello Overview

View this description in Slovene

The DPA CORE+ 4099 Instrument Microphone, Cello is designed to capture the full range of your cello’s sound, from subtle resonance to full bow attack. It comes with the purpose-built C-CLIP, which mounts securely to the cello without leaving marks or affecting playability. The mic delivers a natural tone with excellent isolation, making it ideal for everything from intimate chamber sessions to amplified stage performance.



Thanks to DPA’s CORE+ technology, the mic eliminates distortion across the dynamic range. Your playing remains clear and detailed, even during intense passages or when competing with other instruments in the mix. The pickup pattern is focused and directional, helping to reduce bleed from nearby performers or environmental noise.



The upgraded Gooseneck Mount lets you position the mic precisely with one hand, then lock it securely in place. The mic is visually discreet with a low-reflection finish and physically robust, built to withstand frequent handling and use. Whether you're performing solo, with an orchestra or in a live band setting, this mic keeps your cello sound clean and under control.



Please Note: the DAD9099 and DAD9001 XLR adapters are sold separately. These are needed if you want to connect the microphone directly to an XLR input such as a mixer or audio interface.

Captures natural cello tone with professional clarity

The 4099 CORE+ for cello delivers the warmth, depth and articulation that cello players expect from a studio-grade microphone. With CORE+ technology, the mic removes distortion across the full dynamic range, allowing soft passages and aggressive bowing to be captured cleanly and accurately. The sound remains natural and open without any harsh compression or artefacts, even when playing with high intensity.

This performance is essential in settings where the cello needs to be heard clearly, whether on stage, in an ensemble or recorded solo. The microphone presents an honest version of your tone that’s easy to work with in a live or studio mix. It also eliminates the need for extra EQ or effects just to get the cello sounding right. What you play is what you hear.

Built to fit cellos securely and stay out of the way

The included C-CLIP is specifically designed to fit the contours of a cello body. It grips firmly without damaging the finish and holds the mic in place even during expressive movement or long playing sessions. Its design keeps the microphone out of your way while still positioned for optimal sound capture.

It connects to a Gooseneck Mount that offers smooth, one-handed positioning. Once adjusted, the mic stays locked in place using a two-step lever. The base of the mount includes vibration-absorbing materials to reduce mechanical noise coming from the instrument. This ensures a clean recording or live feed, even when performing with passion or on a resonant stage surface.

Reduces noise and keeps focus on your sound

The mic uses a supercardioid pickup pattern to maintain isolation and focus. It helps reject sound from other instruments or stage monitors, so your cello can be heard clearly without background interference. This directional sensitivity becomes especially useful in ensemble or amplified settings where multiple sources are competing for space in the mix.

Alongside its pickup pattern, the mic’s physical design adds to its quiet performance. The shock-mounted body reduces handling noise, and the matte black coating keeps it visually discreet under lighting. These design elements help you stay focused on playing while ensuring the mic delivers a clean, consistent sound to the engineer or recording system.

Durable, adaptable and ready for any setup

Despite its lightweight profile, the 4099 CORE+ is built with long-term use in mind. The materials and connections are designed to hold up through frequent setup, rehearsal and transport. It’s small enough to stay out of the way during performance, but strong enough to handle the demands of daily professional use.

The MicroLock connector ensures a stable cable fit that won’t come loose mid-performance. It also supports DPA adapters, giving you flexibility to switch between wired or wireless systems without needing multiple microphones. This makes it easy to integrate into whatever rig you use, keeping your setup fast, simple and reliable wherever you play.
