DPA d:vote 4099G Clip Microphone for Guitar & Dobro

Perfect for PA amplification and live recording of acoustic guitar, mandolin, ukulele and dobro, the 4099G offers practically unlimited placement possibilities as well as a sound that is considerably more natural than an internal microphone or pick-up. The 4099G is a unique clip microphone inheriting the sonic approach from the legendary DPA studio microphones to a new instrument microphone. The 4099 microphone and mounting system is meticulously designed and optimized for the guitar family. This is to ensure the best possible mount and audio reinforcement is achieved when performing live. The 4099G fits instruments with a body depth between 35 mm (1.4 in) and 122 mm (4.8 in).

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.
