The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

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.

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold

  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

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.

Innovative CORE by DPA microphone technology

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.

Extreme SPL handling capabilities

The CORE 4099 Extreme SPL microphone is suitable for sound pressure levels of up to 152dB before clipping occurs. These powerful SPL capabilities make the 4099 perfect for close-mic'ing applications of incredibly loud sound sources including instruments, cabinets, and even some of the loudest motor vehicles. You can be sure that the sound you capture is transparent and articulate, 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 sound source's tonality. As a result, ambient background noise is also reduced, with the possibility of acoustical feedback being kept to an absolute minimum.

Instant unobtrusive mounting for drums and percussion

If you want to capture that powerful boom and impact of drums and percussion, the 4099 CORE Extreme SPL microphone is the ultimate choice. With its ability to accurately reproduce the natural sonic characteristics of various drum and percussion instruments across the full range with ease, the 4099 has managed to find a home in countless studio and stage environments all over the world. This drum-optimized version of the 4099 comes complete with a simple and easy-to-use clip that allows you to place the microphone on an enormous variety of drums and percussion. The design of the mounting mechanism allows you to quickly and easily move the mic between drums, whilst also featuring a revolutionary 90° system for a diverse range of mounting options. As well as an innovative clip, the microphone itself is equipped with a flexible gooseneck that enables you to quickly and easily find the sweet spot for recording or amplification.
