The DPA Microphones 4099-DC-2-201-D, designed for Extreme SPL, accurately captures the booming sounds of drums as well as percussion instruments. It can be easily positioned to fit different types of drums. The flexible gooseneck allows positioning at different angles to provide a variety of sound nuances. The mic is elegant, lightweight, unobtrusive, and designed to stay out of the way during performances; users should appreciate how gently this condenser mic adheres to their prized instrument.

Additionally, its mounting mechanism makes it easy to move it between different instruments, and it includes a revolutionary ‘90°’ system that offers a wide variety of mounting options. Detaching the clip from the gooseneck and re-mounting it – turned 90° – doubles the number of mic positions available. This mic can be easily combined with a wide variety of additional accessories as well (sold separately). For the bass drum, the d:vote™ VC4099 clip (sold separately) is designed to perfectly fit on the rim.

The standard gooseneck length is 5.5" (140mm), although it can be altered using the optional gooseneck extension unit (sold separately), adding another 50% to the length, and helping to locate the instrument's exact "sweet spot".

The 4099 range features a detachable cable from the gooseneck, providing more convenience for mounting the mic on an instrument before connecting it. Furthermore, the choice of different cable qualities makes it possible to tailor your mic to the specific situation, such as choosing the heavy-duty 2.2mm cable for PA/Live gigs, or the easier-to-hide, thinner, miniature cabling for personal mounting on instruments where the cable weight may interfere with-and impede-your performance. And in case of a cable failure, service is quick and easy. Also featured is a MicroDot cable termination which opens the door for use with many leading wireless mic systems using a range of available adapters (adapters sold separately). These adapters provide you with flexible, simple, and affordable possibilities; no longer are you bound to one wireless system – as your circumstances change, you can just swap your adapter, rather than incurring the cost of a whole new microphone. And when you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.

From pianissimo to forte, you'll experience clear open sound, with minimized distortion and increased dynamic range. the 4099-DC-2-201-D captures everything

from the ‘highest of the highs to the ‘lowest of the lows,’ further distancing these mics from their competitors.
