My first experience with the DPA Microphones CORE 4099 came when I was baited into mixing for the Appalachian Folk Fest in North Georgia for two days of folk, bluegrass and a few styles that still aren’t clearly categorized. Some performers opted for rock-style stage setups with plenty of microphones, while others went old school bluegrass and mixed themselves against only one.
With a virtual onslaught of acoustic instruments and solo performers, the CORE 4099 was provided with the acoustic guitar mount and was put through its paces on everything from cheap music store guitars to mesmerizing vintage pieces that sounded good just sitting on the stand.
As in other reviews for DPA, I’ll just go ahead and hit the punchline. They all sound amazing. This one is no exception. I’ll also say that this particular little festival became the proving grounds for several product reviews.
