DPA 4099V Supercardioid Clip Microphone Kit for Violin

DPA 4099V Supercardioid Clip Microphone Kit for Violin

Violin, banjo, and viola players will appreciate how gently the 4099V adheres to a prized instrument while its elegantly lightweight, unobtrusive design keeps it from getting in the way of a passionate performance. The 4099V 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 string family. This is to ensure the best possible mount and audio reinforcement is achieved when performing live. The 4099V fits other instruments with a body depth between 35 mm (1.4 in) and 55 mm (2.1 in).
