DPA Microphones will present its 4099 CORE+ Instrument Microphone and redesigned instrument clip solutions to 2026 NAMM Show audiences at Booth 16102. As the next generation of the brand’s renowned instrument microphone, the 4099 CORE+ sets a new benchmark for clarity, control and versatility. It features the industry’s most advanced distortion-reduction technology, which delivers a wider dynamic range, enhanced sonic transparency and improved authenticity for microphones that don’t just meet expectations—they redefine them.
With a design based on years of refinement and user insight, the 4099 CORE+ introduces groundbreaking advancements that push performance to unprecedented levels. Featuring 10 dB of added dynamic range and a higher clipping point than the previous generation, the 4099 CORE+ captures the full nuance of every instrument with precision and authenticity. Incorporating CORE+ by DPA technology, a groundbreaking, patent-pending innovation, the mic virtually eliminates the non-linearities that can occur in the microphone membrane and circuitry, resulting in remarkably transparent and distortion-free sound.
“The original DPA 4099 has long been the go-to for professional musicians and sound engineers around the world,” says Helga Volha Somava, Product Management Director, DPA Microphones. “The 4099 CORE+ carries forward that legacy while elevating the microphone with next-level performance, maintaining the iconic tonal characteristics that users love, but introducing new technology that pushes the boundaries of studio and live sound. We first introduced CORE+ by DPA technology at last year’s NAMM, and we look forward to showcasing the 4099 CORE+ to audiences at the forthcoming show.”
