However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
Natural and transparent sound with exceptional dynamics. The DPA CORE 4099 instrument microphone is the perfect choice for any professional sound application.
Capable of handling up to 142dB SPL before clipping, the CORE 4099 microphone is a must-have for close-mic'ing loud acoustic instruments. (As a point of reference, a jet taking off is roughly 130dB). Thanks to the class-leading capabilities, the CORE 4099 microphone lets you capture every detail of your woodwind instrument with unparalleled results. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the 4099 is designed to deliver.
This system consists of a single 4099 microphone with the legendary CORE mic technology, a secure and easy-to-adjust clip for mounting the mic to your instrument (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, and bass clarinets), a 1.6mm diameter cable extension, and a MicroDot to 3-pin XLR adapter. With all this in one handy package, you can be setup and ready to capture incredible audio without limitations in an instant.

Found at the heart of many of DPA's miniature microphone configurations is the advanced CORE by DPA technology. This provides minimised distortion, an expanded dynamic range and an overall improved sound quality. CORE by DPA enhances the exceptional performance of DPA's existing microphone designs.
By minimizing distortion, CORE by DPA exhibits a significantly clearer and more open sound throughout the entire range of the microphone. On top of this, the increased dynamic range creates an increased workable range, and the microphone becomes much less vulnerable to overload. The increase allows you to capture extremely loud sound sources, such as screams, without experiencing harmonic distortion.
The CORE 4099 microphone is suitable for sound pressure levels of up to 142dB before clipping occurs. These powerful SPL capabilities make the 4099 perfect for close-mic'ing applications, as well as surface mounting on a wide variety of instruments. You can be sure that the sound of your instrument is the focus of the captured sound, ensuring absolute clarity without the worry and hassle of distortion.
Close-mic'ing techniques ensure that you're able to capture the highest possible sound pressure and therefore every detail of the instrument's tonality. As a result, ambient background noise is also reduced, with the possibility of acoustical feedback being kept to an absolute minimum.
No matter what kind of saxophone or musical style you plan to capture, the 4099 CORE instrument microphone will deliver jaw-dropping results. Thanks to the included STC4099 mounting clip, you can get the perfect position to capture truly astounding sonic performance from your saxophone or bass clarinet. The clip fits unobtrusively to the bell of your instrument, whilst the microphone's flexible gooseneck lets you find the sweet spot for recording or amplification. The intuitive mounting mechanism boasts a gentle design that prevents damage to the instrument whilst allowing you to quickly switch the mic to a different instrument with just one hand. Whether you're recording soprano, alto, tenor or baritone (or even a bass clarinet), the 4099 CORE system for saxophones is the ultimate choice.
''There is no single mic model that could outperform the at all positions, especially if we consider the distinct advantages at exacting placement, diminished leakage and freedom of movement for the performers.'' - Prosound News
''The DPA 4099 supercardioid instrument microphones are wonderful additions to any appropriate acoustic instrumentalist or live sound engineer’s arsenal of microphones. They are simple and easy to mount and demount, sound really good, are supremely fit for purpose, and set a new benchmark for high-quality, clip-on instrument microphones in live and recording environments.'' - Performing Musician
