DPA d:dicate 4017C Condenser Shotgun Microphone

DPA d:dicate 4017C Condenser Shotgun Microphone Overview: At just 154 mm (6.1 in) and 70 g (2.5 oz), this mic sets new standards for compactness within shotgun microphones and their applications At the same time, it offers impressive accuracy, clarity and musicality.

The mic is fully immune to RF emission and the 19 mm (0.75 in) condenser cartridge is capable of handling peak SPLs of 152 dB before clipping Designed for a broad range of applications, the d:dicate Microphones Series is ideal for use with camera systems, in fixed positions at sports facilities, for broadcast/ENG/film booming and even studio recording environments.

The microphone capsule The d:dicate 4017C Shotgun Microphone, Compact is equipped with a highly-directional hypercardioid pickup pattern; obtained using a supercardioid design with an interference tube that provides excellent off-axis rejection Its unique directional pattern is useful when you need exceptionally high directivity with high background noise rejection.

It is convenient when you cannot place the mic close enough to the sound source The MMP-C preamplifier makes booming applications such as in a car or in low-ceiling rooms is uncomplicated.

Extensive research and development has been undertaken to optimize the sound coming from the sides and back of the microphone One of the key accomplishments is that we have minimized often very un-linear response of a shotgun microphone due to its side lobes.

The condenser capsule uses a high voltage pre-polarized back plate, endowing the shotgun with high output as well as wide dynamics, extremely low noise and distortion specifications The d:dicate 4017C Shotgun Microphone, Compact is also available with Rycote Windshield and suspension system – a fully-packed and ready-to-go solution.

At any time, and with no tools needed, it is possible to transform the d:dicate 4017C Shotgun Microphone, Compact into a new configuration You can combine it with another d:dicate or d:facto Microphone Capsule or Preamplifier.
