Phil O'Keefe Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Is it possible? Maybe it is... While no single mic is ideal for everything, the DPA 4099 series is one mic that I think every live sound company should consider adding to their mic box due to its extraordinary versatility. For all the details, please check out my full review... and if you have any questions about the microphones (or the review), this thread is the place to post them! http://www.harmonycentral.com/expert-reviews/dpa-dvote-4099g-and-4099d-instrument-microphones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 29, 2018 Members Share Posted March 29, 2018 Different tools for different application Phil. I have some awesome #2 Phillips drivers, but as awesome as they are with #2 screws, they are a terrible choice for a #1 screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These mics work well on a wide variety of sound sources. Are they ideal for everything? No... but they're remarkably versatile, and the range of mounts makes them easy to use with a lot of different instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Scratch that - I don't see an AKG D1000E or D19 on that snare either... I am most disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trevcda Posted May 27, 2018 Members Share Posted May 27, 2018 4099... Sounds like a Beach Boys song with a stutter. I've yet to figure out why those guys were singing about a kitchen cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dogoth Posted June 9, 2018 Members Share Posted June 9, 2018 I don't remember the model numbers but the few times I've used DPA mics, I loved them. It's definitely one of those "you get what you pay for" scenarios. They are REALLY expensive. Up there in cost with Neumann's, Schoeps and a few other boutique makers. They are fine instruments for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
