This item is as-new, in its original case with all manuals. It includes the cello clip to mount it onto the instrument. It was used only once as part of a recording project in my non-smoking home studio (never live/gigged). There is no cosmetic damage and it's fully tested, with a clean capsule, and working perfectly.

It is the industry-standard DPA d:vote 4099 supercardioid condenser microphone configured with the dedicated cello mount. Renowned for capturing the true, warm, and woody voice of the instrument without the harshness or "quack" of a typical piezo pickup, this is the original model that put DPA on the map for live strings and acoustic touring.

Key Features

• Supercardioid polar pattern: exceptional gain-before-feedback and high rejection of stage wash, drums, or surrounding ensemble instruments.
• Cello-specific mounting clip: designed to attach safely and securely to the tailpiece/body of your cello without scratching the varnish.
• Flexible gooseneck: allows you to micro-adjust the capsule sweet spot (near the f-hole or bridge) with total stability.
• Natural acoustic sound: delivers a clear, uncoloured, and transparent frequency response that honours your instrument's natural resonance.
• Versatile modular system: features DPA’s microdot connector (compatible with various DPA adapters for XLR phantom power or wireless bodypacks)
