Comments on: DPA 4099 for bass and cello http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/news/dpa-4099-for-bass-and-cello/ Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:46:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Greg Simmons http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/news/dpa-4099-for-bass-and-cello/#comment-1300 Greg Simmons Sat, 10 Jul 2010 10:19:41 +0000 http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/?p=1492#comment-1300 I've used the 4099 a few times since it hit the market a couple of years ago, with stellar results. Although it is intended for live work, it is also good for recording. Because it is mounted on the instrument, the tone remains consistent no matter how much the musician moves around. The benefits to the reproduced sound are obvious, but perhaps less obvious is the fact that the musician is free to express him/herself without worrying about playing to a microphone on a stand. I used a 4099S on a soprano saxophone in a live concert in Chennai (Southern India) back in January 2009, and the saxophonist was as pleased with the recorded sound as he was with the freedom it gave him to move around.
