DPA 4097 CORE Supercardioid Choir Microphone DPA Microphones has released the 4097 CORE supercardioid choir microphone. Ideal for house of worship and choir applications, the 4097 Choir Mic provides the same sonic quali- ties as DPA’s 4099 CORE instrument microphone but was designed specifically to capture dynamic choir sound. Configured with a MicroDot connector and a DPA adapter for wired or wireless use, the 4097 offers improved flexibility on stage when there are multiple uses of the same space; furthermore, the 4097 uses a triple shock-mount system to ensure that rumble caused by movement on the stage is damped effectively. Additionally, the 4097 choir microphone features DPA’s flat off-axis supercardioid pattern and has been designed to be very natural sounding. As a result, the microphone has a very high gain-before-feedback and is designed to make a full choir sound natural from all angles.
