Product description
The DPA 4098H Supercardioid Microphone is designed for hanging applications in
churches, performing arts centers, orchestra pits, and TV studios. The 4098H deliv-
ers clear and natural sound for live sound reinforcement of choirs, instrumental
or vocal groups, speech or live audiences. Extremely low in profile, the integrated
gooseneck provides the ability to easily aim the mics, ensuring perfect positioning
with minimal visual impact since the mics’ slim cable is nearly invisible. These mi-
crophones offer flat response and uniform off-axis sound combined with excellent
gain-before-feedback characteristics for live sound reinforcement. The mic has an
extremely high rejection of RF interference post the signal balanced XLR connector
which offers more than 60 dB common mode rejection.
Adjusting the gooseneck and microphone angle
The gooseneck is extremely flexible and the microphone can be angled to any de-
sired position. It has a unique angle memory and does not change its position or
ability to be repositioned over time and use.
Adjust the microphone to the desired angle. Since goosenecks can generate loud
crackling sound, adjustment should only be done when not connected to the audio
chain.
Application notes
Always use the 4098 with its dedicated foam windscreen.
For capturing smaller choirs at shorter distance, point the capsule to the last row of
singers. The supercardioid pick-up pattern will attenuate the sounds and produce
a natural balance between the nearest (loudest but attenuated) and the furthest
(weakest but performing to the microphones most sensitive direction).
