Product overview
The DPA 4099 CORE+ Touring Kits bring together 4 or 10 4099 CORE+ instrument microphones with the adapters, clips and cables that make it a breeze to set up your stage, for the highest sound quality with more clarity and detail in your music.
The 4099 CORE+ is the next-generation, high-performance supercardioid instrument microphone. It delivers pristine, natural and undistorted sound with exceptional isolation and off-axis rejection for any live or studio setting, and with MicroLock and a series of upgraded instrument clips it gives even better stability and flexibility on any type of instrument.
Two kits are offered. The Classic Touring Kit is optimised for classical acoustic instruments and uses the Loud SPL microphone (max SPL, peak before clipping 145 dB). The Rock Touring Kit is optimised for live rock band performances and uses the Extreme SPL microphone (154 dB) for drums, percussion and very loud brass.
Each kit comes with 4 or 10 microphones and in two packagings: a protective hard case with pouches for reusable storage, or a cardboard box with pouches (versions ending in -C) when storage is not needed.
