Sennheiser EW 500 G4 with DPA 4099 Hire in Ibiza

Hire the Sennheiser EW 500 G4 with DPA 4099 in Ibiza for concerts, wedding bands, festivals, recording sessions and professional live productions.

This premium wireless instrument microphone system combines the flexible UHF performance of the Sennheiser EW 500 G4 platform with the detailed and natural sound of a DPA 4099 instrument microphone.

It allows musicians to move freely on stage while maintaining consistent microphone placement directly on the instrument.

Professional Wireless Instrument Microphone System

The system includes a Sennheiser rack receiver, an SK 500 G4 bodypack transmitter and a DPA 4099 directional instrument microphone.

Depending on the required application, the microphone can be supplied with a compatible clip for:

• Saxophone
• Trumpet
• Trombone
• Violin
• Mandolin
• Guitar
• Cello
• Double bass
• Drums and percussion
• Piano
• Accordion
• Other compatible instruments

The correct clip must be selected according to the instrument.

DPA 4099 Instrument Microphone

The DPA 4099 is a professional supercardioid condenser microphone designed specifically for close instrument miking.

Its directional pickup pattern provides strong rejection of nearby sound sources and stage monitors while preserving a natural and detailed instrument tone.

The microphone is particularly suitable for live stages where several instruments, monitors and PA loudspeakers are operating simultaneously.

Current 4099 CORE+ versions offer increased headroom and reduced distortion, while remaining compatible with previous generations of DPA instrument clips and MicroDot accessories.

Consistent Microphone Position

The DPA 4099 mounts directly onto the instrument using a dedicated clip.

This provides several advantages over a conventional microphone stand:

• The microphone moves with the performer.
• The distance from the instrument remains consistent.
• Musicians have greater freedom of movement.
• Stage space remains clearer.
• Microphone placement can be repeated reliably.
• Spill from nearby instruments can be reduced.

The flexible gooseneck allows the capsule position and angle to be adjusted precisely.

SK 500 G4 Bodypack Transmitter

The system includes the professional Sennheiser SK 500 G4 transmitter.

Sennheiser specifies:

• Up to 88 MHz switching bandwidth
• Up to 3,520 selectable frequencies
• Up to 32 compatible channels
• Infrared synchronisation
• Adjustable RF output of 10, 30 or 50 mW, where permitted
• Approximately eight hours of battery operation
• Signal-to-noise ratio of at least 115 dBA

The exact available frequency range and permitted RF power depend on the transmitter version and local regulations.

Compatible DPA Adapter

The DPA 4099 requires the correct adapter to connect to the locking 3.5 mm input of the SK 500 G4.

For current MicroLock microphones, DPA offers the DAD9034 adapter for Sennheiser Evolution systems.

The adapter performs both the mechanical and electrical conversion required to power the microphone and obtain the correct signal level. DPA warns that mechanical connector compatibility alone does not guarantee electrical compatibility, so only the correct approved adapter should be used.

Older MicroDot-equipped 4099 microphones may use the previous compatible DPA adapter version.

Natural Sound for Live Instruments

The Sennheiser EW 500 G4 with DPA 4099 is suitable for instruments requiring detail, clarity and controlled rejection.

It works particularly well for:

• Brass sections
• Saxophones
• String instruments
• Acoustic guitars
• Double bass
• Percussion
• Pianos
• Accordion
• Touring musicians
• Wedding and function bands

The 4099 captures the instrument acoustically, unlike the CI 1 cable system, which takes the electrical signal directly from a guitar or bass output.

Greater Freedom of Movement

Because the microphone is attached directly to the instrument and connected to a bodypack transmitter, the performer is not restricted to a fixed microphone stand.

This is especially valuable for:

• Saxophonists moving around the stage
• Brass sections with choreography
• Violinists and string performers
• Wedding bands
• Festival performances
• Theatre productions
• Musicians performing among the audience

The transmitter can be attached to the musician’s belt, clothing, strap or an appropriate pouch.

Professional UHF Receiver

The rack receiver provides reliable reception and professional audio connections for integration with a mixing console or digital stage box.

The EW 500 G4 platform can be integrated into larger wireless racks with:

• Antenna distribution
• Directional antennas
• Multiple wireless channels
• Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager
• Professional RF coordination
• Remote status monitoring

Ethernet control through Wireless Systems Manager is especially useful when several EW 300 or EW 500 G4 systems are operating together.

Frequency Coordination

Professional wireless systems should always be coordinated according to the venue and the other RF equipment in use.

The operating frequency must be checked against:

• Other wireless microphones
• In-ear monitoring systems
• Local television transmissions
• Venue communication systems
• Nearby productions
• Frequency regulations
• Existing RF interference

Higher transmitter power does not replace correct antenna positioning and frequency coordination.

Instrument-Specific Clips

The DPA 4099 uses different mounting clips depending on the instrument.

Compatible options include:

• CM-CLIP general clamp
• Saxophone and trumpet clip
• Guitar clip
• Violin and mandolin clip
• Cello clip
• Double-bass clip
• Drum clip
• Piano clip
• Accordion clip
• Microphone-stand clip

The microphone and clip supplied must be confirmed when preparing the hire package.
