DPA 4099 Core Cello

While playing, it is sometimes hard to tell how good a mic like this is, precisely because transparency is the aim! There is no doubt that it is amazingly precise AND 'musical', and that small changes of position make significant differences, valid in their own right. Something it excelled at also, beyond expectation, is how the richness of the signal is translated putting it though effects (in this case an analogue RM on its own). This is quite revelatory for me. Altogether a great thing!
