The DPA Microphones 4099 CORE+ Rock Touring Kit with 4 Microphones and Accessories (Extreme SPL) is a professional microphone package designed for demanding live and studio applications, delivering pristine, natural, and undistorted sound with exceptional isolation and off-axis rejection. Featuring four 4099 CORE+ instrument microphones with extremely high SPL handling, wide dynamic range, and supercardioid pickup patterns, the system is ideal for capturing loud instruments with superior gain before feedback.

Equipped with MicroLock connectors, IP58-certified durability, adapters, cables, and a flexible clip system for a wide range of instruments, the kit provides reliable performance and versatile mounting options for touring musicians and audio professionals. This configuration is packaged in a cardboard box for users who don't require a case for transportation and storage. Detailed descriptions for the included items are provided below.

The DPA 4099 CORE+ Instrument Microphone (Extreme SPL) is designed to deliver uncompromising sound quality and unmatched versatility for close-miking a wide variety of instruments in both live and studio environments. The mic can handle SPLs up to 152 dB, allowing it to easily capture drums, percussion, and other very loud instruments like, for example, the trumpet. This discreet supercardioid condenser microphone captures the true character of each instrument with pristine clarity—even in extreme-SPL settings.

At the heart of the 4099 CORE+ is DPA's updated CORE+ technology, which provides a wider dynamic range and increased headroom. With a peak SPL handling of 152 dB before clipping, this Extreme SPL version (identified by a yellow marking on the gooseneck) easily manages very loud instruments and powerful drum strikes, ensuring a natural and distortion-free signal. The microphone's supercardioid polar pattern offers well-balanced isolation from surrounding instruments, enhanced by a new advanced shockmount and improved gooseneck design for exceptional rejection of vibration and handling noise.

The integrated gooseneck mount (G-MOUNT) provides intuitive, one-handed operation and precise mic positioning. It enhances stability and isolation, streamlines the setup process, and ensures reliable performance under the pressures of live sound. A refined windscreen and low-reflective finish help maintain an unobtrusive visual profile, on camera or onstage.

The 4099 CORE+ is built to adapt. Its upgraded mounting system offers a wide range of clip options (available separately) that securely attach to virtually any acoustic instrument—no matter the shape or size—without causing damage. The detachable MicroLock connector provides compatibility with a variety of wireless and wired systems, while IP58 certification ensures the microphone stands up to moisture, dust, and the rigors of travel. With a single mic body and a selection of dedicated clips, the 4099 CORE+ offers an elegant and scalable solution for everything from solo gigs to orchestral performances and rock-and-roll tours.

This black, 16.4' Heavy-Duty MicroLock Extension Cable from DPA will work with any DPA miniature microphone. With this extra thick and sturdy, reinforced cable, any DPA adapter for wireless systems can be used. The reinforced cable features a 2.2mm diameter and is well suited for use in physically challenging environments like the live stage.

The DPA DAD9001 is a rugged MicroLock to 3-pin XLR adapter with integrated belt clip, designed to power DPA miniature microphones using standard 48V phantom power. It features a solid metal housing and a repositionable belt clip for durability and ease of use in the field.
