DPA 4099-D

Yes. The 4099-D is specifically engineered to handle extreme sound pressure levels up to 152 dB, meaning it can capture the sharp transients and high volume of drums without introducing distortion.

The supercardioid polar pattern is highly directional, which helps isolate your drum or percussion instrument by rejecting sound from the sides and back. This significantly reduces bleed from other instruments on stage and minimizes the risk of feedback.

Absolutely. The integrated shockmount system is designed to decouple the microphone from the drum shell, effectively absorbing structure-borne noise and vibrations that would otherwise muddy your recording.

Yes, the G-MOUNT gooseneck is designed for precise, one-handed placement. It is rigid enough to stay exactly where you position it, yet flexible enough to navigate around tight hardware or cymbal stands.

The 4099-D is a condenser microphone that requires 48V phantom power. You will need to connect it to a mixer, interface, or preamp that provides this power via an XLR connection.

It is built for professional use and features an IP58 certification, meaning it is resistant to dust and water. While it is a precision instrument, its rugged construction is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent live performance and touring.
