• For use in houses of worship, panels, boardroom applications, and videoconference situations, the DPA 4098 offers quick setup and delivers clear, pristine sound.
• The mic reproduces crisp, intelligible speech and vocals up to the standards of demanding speakers, singers, and presenters. 
• The supercardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture tightly on the person directly in front of the mic, picking up less unwanted background sound and helping to reduce feedback when loudspeakers are used for sound reinforcement.
• The microphone capsule's consistent off-axis response means that speaking into the side of the mic doesn’t make the audio sound worse, it just drops the voice level.
• Even passionate speakers and vocalists are no problem for the 4098; the capsule can handle peak volumes of up to 135 dB SPL before distortion occurs.
• The factory-mounted foam windscreen helps to reduce breath and plosive noise.
• The versatile 4098 can also be used as an instrument microphone.

• The included floor stand has an integrated shock-mounting solution. The unique design allows for a long stage microphone boom pole that does not swing, but rapidly stabilizes itself after being positioned.

Q: 8. Is this a good choice for the Shure VP88?

A: No, the Rycote INV-7 InVision Microphone Suspension for Stand and Boompole Mounting is not compatible for use with the Shure VP88 Stereo Condenser Microphone. The diameter of the VP88 is 39.7mm at the front, which is the widest part, and 27mm at the cable connection, which is the narrowest part. The INV-7 accommodates microphones that have a diameter of 19 to 25mm. The VP88 already has an internal shockmount that is designed to reduce handling noise and stand vibration, so you could use the stand adapter that comes included with the mic for most applications. If you feel that you need additional isolation, you can try the Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII Microphone Suspension Lyre Shockmount (B&H # RYINVHGMKIII), which accommodates microphones with a diameter of 19 to 34mm and should work on the handle of the VP88.

Q: 9. Does somebody have first hand experience with how well this mount tackles handling noise when used with a Schoeps CMC641 with colette cable?
