PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DPA 4099 instrument clip microphone is lightweight,

ﬂexible and simple to mount, making it the perfect match for

your instrument.

It carries a superb natural sound quality and maximum off-axis

rejection to achieve excellent gain-before-feedback characteristics

for live sound reinforcement.

This is the ultimate miking solution for your live instrument ap-

plications.

Two different microphone sensitivities are available:

• Normal sensitivity for bass, cello, guitar, piano, saxophone,

violin, and universal use (marked with a black cable relief at the

connector end).

• Extra low sensitivity with ultra high sound pressure capability

for brass and drums (marked with a white cable relief at the

connector end).

4099B Clip Microphone for Bass and more

Mounting the gooseneck

Secure the gooseneck by sliding the ﬁxation part over the grip:

Mounting the microphone

Mount the 4099B on the bass by attaching it on the two outer

strings between the bridge and the tailpiece.

Let the holder curve inwards.

Adjust the gooseneck and microphone angle to your desired

taste.

For the most natural sound: Below the bridge, between instru-

ment top (belly) and strings. For the highest output: angled to

one of the f-holes.

4099C Clip Microphone for Cello and more

Mounting the gooseneck

Secure the gooseneck by sliding the ﬁxation part over the grip:

Mounting the microphone

Mount the 4099C on the cello between the bridge and the

tailpiece. Attach it on the two outer strings, let the holder curve

outwards.

Adjust the gooseneck and microphone angle to your desired

taste. For the most natural sound: Below the bridge, between

instrument top (belly) and strings. For the highest output: an-

gled to one of the f-holes.

4099D Clip Microphone for Drums

Mounting the gooseneck

Secure the gooseneck in the holder.

The gooseneck securing part can be angled 90 degrees of-

fering maximum placement possibilities. Detach the part from

the clip and re-mount it turned 90 degrees for a horizontal

gooseneck arm.

Mounting on instrument

The enclosed clip ﬁts most drums and percussion instruments

and can be mounted two ways, either upwards or downwards:

Clip mounted upwards.

Upward turning clip positioning allows for mic placements

across the drum skin and will be the most typical live applica-

tion choice for rock. Point the microphone to the middle of

the drum to get more low-end richness or to the edge to get

more crispy bite.

Clip mounted downwards.

Downward turning clip positioning allows for mic placements a

little further away from the drum and will be a preferred choice

for most invisible placements suitable for TV productions. Soni-

cally, this position will also often be the choice for jazz.

Application note, Snare Drum

A snare drum may beneﬁt from a two-microphone setup, one

on top and one below the drum; the upper mic will focus on

the “in-your-face” punch and the lower mic on the snare high-

frequency bite from below the drum. Shift polarity on one of

them and blend them in desired balance.

Application note, Bass Drum

The VC4099 clip (optional accessory) also ﬁts the bass drum

rim. The bass drum, too, can beneﬁt from a two-microphone

setup, one on the stroke side and one on the front side. Shift

polarity on one of them and blend them in the desired balance,

controlling the “kick” sound and the low frequency component.

4099G Clip Microphone

for Guitar, Dobro, and more

Adjusting the clip height

The height of the 4099G clip can easily be adjusted to ﬁt a wide

variety of stringed instruments with a body depth between 35

mm (1.4 in) and 122 mm (4.8 in).. Press the lock on the side of

the clip to increase height:

Place the clip in its maximum position on the instrument, and

reduce the height to ﬁt the instrument, by pressing the parts

ﬁrmly together.

Mounting the gooseneck

Choose the desired gooseneck height and place it in the grip.

Secure the gooseneck by sliding the ﬁxation part over the grip:

Mounting on instrument

The 4099 can be easily readjusted and moved to different

instruments by using just one hand. Squeeze the two clamp

knobs on the clip to expand it, mount on the instrument, and

then release.

It will now ﬁt the shape of the instrument. This will vary depend-

ing on the required instrument and playing style.

Application note

A recommended miking placement for the most balanced

sound is where the fretboard meets the body, typically above

the 12th fret.

For optimum volume, point the microphone toward the sound

hole. A blend between your guitar’s pick-up and the 4099

condenser microphone is often a good choice on stage. This

can provide even more gain before feedback while keeping a

natural guitar tone. The DAO4099 Double Cable will reduce

cable clutter.

4099P Stereo Microphone System

for Piano and more

Mounting the gooseneck in holders

Secure the goosenecks in the holders by sliding the ﬁxation

part over the grip:

Placement of microphones

Place the holders in the piano frame and adjust the microphone

angle to preferred sonic taste. The microphones can be spaced

apart, angled apart, or both.

Speciﬁcations speciﬁc to the 4099P

Sensitivity selection tolerance for pair: ± 1 dB at 1 kHz.

Any 4099 microphone within this sensitivity tolerance is marked

with a white dot on the gooseneck ﬁxation part.

4099S Clip Microphone

for Saxophones, Bass Clarinet, and more

Mounting the gooseneck

Secure the gooseneck by sliding the ﬁxation part over the grip:

Mounting on instrument

The 4099S can be easily readjusted and moved to different

instruments by using just one hand. Squeeze the two clamp

knobs on the clip to expand it, mount on the instrument, and

then release. It will now ﬁt the shape of the instrument. This will

vary depending on the required instrument and playing style.
