I'm considering to buy a DPA 4099. In large stage with soundman I think I can play directly in the PA. in little room with little group, or without drums, I know I can play acoustic ( I use gut strings with enough high action). but maybe in medium venue or with a greater band I have to use an amplifier. So, have you any suggestion to what amplifier match with the DPA? I currently have an old GK MB200.

Double Bass suggestion for matchin' a dpa 4099

Tito,
You should definitely keep that amplifier, it's one of the best Double Bass amps that GK built. Ideally, your new amp should have microphone inputs, lo cut filters, phase inversion, and a phantom power supply if you are intending on using it with the DPA 4099 because it's a condenser microphone, or you could just get a phantom power supply and run it into the GK. IHMO it's really a mic that should be sent to a PA, using it with an amplifier is possible blended with a pickup, but it won't work as your sole sound source, as it could feedback. Both the Acoustic Image Clarius+ and Euphonic Audio Doubler have those features there are other amps as well.

Hi Tito,I have the Dpa and I use it with a doubler and Euphonic Audio Wizzy 12 and It sound incredibly good.I had only some problems 'cause the wind,so It seems to be more suited for theaters than open air situations.If you'd like to contact me to have some more detailed informations, this in my mail address [email protected].
