Product overview
The DPA 4098 CORE Supercardioid Floorstand Microphone is a complete microphone floor stand solution offering a high-quality stage voice or instrument mic in an elegant and exclusive design.
With very low noise and high sensitivity, the 4098 supercardioid miniature microphone offers clear, transparent and natural sound, and it handles extremely high SPL before clipping. With a linear response, low distortion and an extremely large dynamic range, it sounds great no matter how challenging the environment.
The highly directional supercardioid pattern gives high isolation, with uniform, frequency-independent directionality. This version, 4098-DC-F-B01-120, is the CORE generation with an XLR-3M connector on a 122 cm (48 in) boom, mounted on a floor stand as a single microphone. The floor base has integrated shock-mounting, and the microphone boom pole stabilises rapidly.
The XLR-3M version runs on P48 phantom power, drives cables up to 100 m (328 ft) and has a permanent second-order low-cut filter at 80 Hz. The microphone is black, with a slim 5.7 mm (0.22 in) diameter.
