Captures dynamic guitar tone without distortion
The 4099 CORE+ for guitar delivers a clear and natural representation of your playing, whether you're performing solo or in a full band setup. The built-in CORE+ technology keeps the signal clean from soft plucks to powerful strums. With distortion reduced to almost nothing across the full dynamic range, you can rely on it to capture your tone accurately, even when pushing volume levels in louder mixes or amplified setups.
This is especially useful for acoustic players who want consistent clarity without extra EQ or effects. Every nuance of your picking, fretting and resonance comes through in the mix. It also means you can perform confidently across different venues, without needing to adapt your style to avoid signal overload. This mic gives you the freedom to play naturally, and the reliability to trust what the audience hears.
Made for guitars with a purpose-built mounting system
Fitted with the GC4099 clip, this version of the 4099 is built for guitar bodies. The clip grips the instrument securely without leaving marks or damaging the finish. It stays put through full sets, helping you maintain a consistent mic position for your entire performance. Its slim shape and low-profile gooseneck also help it stay out of the way visually, which is especially important for stage and video setups.
The clip connects to an upgraded Gooseneck Mount that lets you adjust mic position with one hand. Once locked in, the mic holds its place firmly. The mount also includes a flexible rubber base that helps reduce vibration and handling noise from the instrument. This ensures your tone stays clean and tight, even in high-energy playing styles or on resonant stage surfaces.
Filters out unwanted sound and keeps your playing in focus
The mic’s supercardioid polar pattern helps isolate your guitar sound by rejecting background noise from the sides and rear. This makes it ideal for live situations where other instruments, monitors or stage ambience might spill into your signal. The pickup pattern is tuned to stay focused on your instrument, particularly at higher frequencies, where clarity matters most.
In addition to the pickup pattern, the microphone’s physical design helps reduce unwanted sound. It features a shock-mounted body that limits the transfer of mechanical noise from the instrument or performer. A matte black coating cuts down on reflections and keeps the mic visually discreet under stage lights. The result is a reliable mic setup that sounds clean and looks tidy, even in challenging environments.
Small, strong and easy to integrate
This microphone is designed to work hard without drawing attention to itself. Its compact size keeps your setup simple and avoids clutter on stage. The build quality is solid and made for touring, with durable components in both the mic and the mounting system. It’s lightweight, stable and stays in place through full performances and regular transport.
The MicroLock connector provides a stable cable connection and is compatible with a wide range of DPA adapters. You can quickly switch between wireless transmitters and standard XLR setups without needing to swap out your microphone. This flexibility makes it a great choice for guitarists who move between rehearsal rooms, recording sessions and live stages. It's a long-lasting, professional tool that adapts to how and where you play.
