The d:vote CORE 4099 for Loud SPL is the perfect mic solution for PA amplification and live recording of acoustic upright bass. It offers a sound that is considerably more natural than an internal microphone or pickup and there are several excellent placement possibilities on the instrument. The microphone and its mounting system are both designed and optimized for the double bass. This ensures that the best mounting and audio reinforcement is achieved when performing live. The mic clip attaches to the E- and G-string below the bridge. This ensures mic placement in the sweet spot between the bridge and fingerboard.

The d:vote 4099 is a high-quality, instrument microphone and the CORE version adds another layer of sound quality to give it an extra edge. Designed with a supercardioid polar pattern for high rejection and superior gain-before-feedback, this mic retains a uniform off-axis frequency response. The d:vote CORE 4099 works great on any instrument, bringing detail and accurate expression across the entire dynamic range. CORE, by DPA, is a powerful new technology at the heart of DPA miniature microphones. With the CORE version of the d:vote 4099, you'll minimize distortion, from pianissimo to forte, with increased clarity and openness for exceptional recordings.
