DPA 4099-DC-1-199-S Core Sax Kit

/

The DPA 4099-DC-1-199-S Core Sax Kit is a complete clip-on microphone setup for saxophone and brass: a DPA 4099 CORE miniature supercardioid condenser mic with the STC4099 saxophone and trumpet clip and an XLR adapter. The 4099 is one of the most trusted instrument mics for live sound, theatre and studio work, and the CORE version keeps detail clean across the whole dynamic range.

The clip holds the mic on the bell at the same distance and angle while the player moves, so the sound stays on the sweet spot through a heavy solo. The flexible gooseneck lets you aim the capsule exactly where the horn sounds best, and the supercardioid pattern keeps the drums, the band and the monitors out of the channel. The clip was designed not to blemish or scratch the instrument, leaves room for any mute, and the horn can go back on its stand with the mic still attached, handy when a player switches instruments during a set.

Plug it into a phantom-powered XLR input with the included adapter, or use one of the DPA adapters below to connect it to a wireless transmitter or a bodypack recorder. Rent it in Montréal for concerts, horn sections, theatre and recording sessions.
