Congratulations to Jeremy Girard for being the first winner of the DPA Microphone User Giveaway! His new 4099-G is on its way to a good home!

A few words from our winner:

“I work as a worship pastor full time and also assist with music directing for Up in Lights Productions Inc., a non-profit theater organization.  I live in Loveland, Colorado and I am currently working on an album of original compositions which will be released by the end of summer 2010.  I have had a great time using DPA microphones to record various parts of my album.  Not only did I use the 4011 for my vocals, but I was also able to get some really good acoustic guitar and drum tracks as well.  I find that the 4011 has a really large spectrum of use when it comes to studio microphone recordings.

I have tried many other microphones and I am really impressed with the DPA 4011.  Thanks so much for a great mic!” – Jeremy Girard

The long awaited mounts for both Bass and Cello are  here!

Bassists and cellists both have fallen in love with the 4099 Instrument microphone, and now DPA introduces special clips just for them to use with the 4099.  The 4099 is a unique instrument microphone with the same sonic purity as the legendary DPA studio microphones.

The 4099B combines the 4099 microphone and a new mounting system that has been designed specially for the double bass. Together they ensure the best possible mount and audio reinforcement is achieved when performing live. The 4099B attaches to the E and G string below the bridge, allowing the microphone capsule to be placed in the sweet spot between the bridge and fingerboard.

The 4099C combines the 4099 microphone and a new mounting system that is optimized for the cello. This ensures the best possible position and audio reinforcement is achieved when performing live. The 4099C attaches to the C and A string below the bridge and allows for microphone capsule placement in the sweet spot between bridge and fingerboard.  This provides a unique combination of natural string sound and high audio separation on stage.

DPA Microphones 4099 Wins 2009 TEC Award

DPA has won a 2009 TEC Award for outstanding technical achievement in professional audio product design for the 4099 clip microphone. The DPA 4099, launched in September 2008, won in the Microphone Technology/Sound Reinforcement category, reinforcing the positive market reaction and surge in demand that has greeted the mic since its launch.

TEC Awards nominations are made by a panel of industry professionals and voted upon by members of various professional organisations and audio industry websites. The award ceremony was held at a special event during the 127th AES convention in New York.

DPA 4099 condenser mics and mounting systems are designed for a wide range of instruments, including guitar, violin, trumpet and sax. Representing years of R&D, the 4099 features supercardioid polar patterns for superior gain-before-feedback. Capable of handling intense SPLs, it shares the same high quality and transparent sound characteristics as DPA’s other world-class microphones.

Tiny, discreet and lightweight, the 4099 is extremely rugged, and the versatile gooseneck provides stable positioning. The mic can be easily unclipped and repositioned or moved to another instrument with only one hand, while the mounting system is designed to leave no mark on precious instruments. New instrument clips to fit the 4099 will be available in the New Year.
