"The CORE preamps offer noticeably cleaner sound at lower gain, which is saying something considering how clean the original was. I’m impressed, and I think you will be too."
Recording Magazine's Paul Vnuk Jr. has reviewed our new d:vote™ CORE 4099. In fact it is labeled 'Reviewed and Revisited', as they also tested the orginal d:vote™ 4099 in 2010: "DPA builds some of the cleanest and most realistic, yet musical, microphones on the market. They are also masters of miniature microphone technology, found in the d:fine headworn mics, d:screet lavalier models, and—most relevant to our readers—the d:vote 4099 miniature instrument mic that we first reviewed in June 2010."
And the conclusion he reaches after a thorough test session is: "What about the sound? No news is amazing news: the sweet clear tone of the 4099 hasn’t changed a bit, but the CORE preamps offer noticeably cleaner sound at lower gain, which is saying something considering how clean the original
was. I’m impressed, and I think you will be too."
