Description

DPA d:vote 4099 Universal Clip-On Condenser Microphone Overview:

The d:vote 4099U Universal Instrument Microphone is designed to address the unique mounting challenges of slim bodied and unusually shaped instruments. The design of the microphone clip includes a hook-and-loop fastener strap which allows it to fit instruments of varying sizes and diameters such as the oboe, clarinet, bassoon, recorder and flute.

The fastener strap pulls tight to fit the circumference of the instrument, like a wrist watch on your arm. On instruments of a large diameter, additional fastener straps can easily be added to extend the clips reach. The d:vote 4099U Universal Instrument Microphone is elegant, lightweight, unobtrusive and designed to stay out of the way during performances. The d:vote 4099U Universal Instrument Microphone includes a revolutionary 90 system which provides a wide range of mounting options. By detaching the clip from the gooseneck and re-mounting it turned 90, the number of mic positions is doubled.

The d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphones series is truly a musicians mic without equal. This series allows you to achieve the purest reproduction of your instrument. The mics feature supercardioid polar patterns for superior gain-before-feedback. They offer extremely natural sound and are fully capable of handling the violins dynamic range and subtle details.

Known for their discreet size and elegance, these mics feature a lightweight design. Yet, d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphones are also rugged. The versatile gooseneck provides stable and repeatable positioning. 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.

The d:vote 4099U Universal Clip Microphone includes a 3-pin XLR phantom power adapter. The UC4099 Universal Clip is available separately, and can be used with any of the d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphones.
