Get Better Violin Sound Onstage!

Playing violin onstage? The DPA 4099 Violin was designed to help you get studio-grade sound, without installing a pickup system. The DPA 4099 Violin features a special clip system that attaches to directly to your violin, so you won't have to nestle up close to microphone stands, you can play naturally anywhere onstage. Everything about the DPA 4099 Violin microphone system is optimized for the violin. Discreet, elegant, and lightweight, this miking system's also rugged — the gooseneck provides both stable and repeatable positioning of the DPA 4099 Violin.

Elegant instrument-miking system gives you studio-grade sound on the stage
The 4099 Violin is a unique clip microphone inheriting the sonic approach from the legendary DPA studio microphones to a new instrument microphone. No multipurpose microphone, the 4099 Violin microphone and mounting system is meticulously designed and optimized for the violin. This is to ensure that you get the best possible mount and audio reinforcement when performing live.

4099 microphone captures your instrument with accuracy
Representing years of research and development, the 4099 Violin system's included 4099 condenser microphone features a supercardioid polar pickup pattern for superb gain-before-feedback. All in all, the 4099 Violin system lives up to its pedigree, with sound as accurate as DPA's other world-class microphones.

Rugged enough for stage demands, gentle enough for your valuable instruments
Despite its tiny, discreet size and its elegant, lightweight design, the 4099 Violin is extremely rugged. The versatile gooseneck provides stable and repeatable positioning. What's more, the microphone can be easily unclipped and repositioned or moved to another instrument with only one hand, while the mounting system is designed never to mar or scratch the finish of your instrument.

Can work as a basic XLR microphone or as part of your wireless system
Through the use of basic adapters, the 4099 is compatible with virtually any wireless system and can also be used as a standard 48V phantom powered microphone via the included XLR connector.

Fantastic Violin Mic

I was able to walk around the auditorium with more than enough ... read more [+]gain and no feedback concerns. It is not cheap but well worth the investment. I would recommend this for all musical styles from classical to rock.

It clips on the instrument easily. A different adapter is required to attache to a wireless system. The wireless system will also require phantom power capibility. close [-]

The mounting clip also fits on my mandolin and banjo. If you are an acoustic tone freak get rid of all the pickups and preamps you have tried over the years, the 4099 is the answer.
