The DPA 2017 is a professional shotgun microphone that captures authentic sound with high clarity and consistency. CLARITY: clear acoustical performance: the 2017 has more efficient off-axis rejection combined with a more linear off-axis frequency response with SPL handling of 143 dB, low self-noise of 13 dB(A) and a 130 dB dynamic range, the 2017 excels where other good shotgun microphones fail CONSISTENCY: extraordinary performance reliability, both indoor and outdoor, regardless of temperature and humidity renowned DPA microphones’ uniformity and reliability in manufacturing ensures minimum variation between the units of the same model, providing similar stellar sound characteristics and performance across all 2017 Shotgun Microphones tight control of production tolerances, in combination with the specially-designed axisymmetric grid, offers stable performance day after day EXTRAORDINARY DURABILITY: physical robustness: the technology used for the capsule and the structure protecting it determines the resistance of the microphone against moisture, temperature changes and mechanical impact non-modular design without moving mechanical parts with the heavy-duty grid and the best slits pattern is very durable and can withstand mechanical impact without effect on microphone’s functionality designed to perform perfectly and without interruptions under persistent cold or heat as well as humid conditions survives exposure to direct rain showers and dries up quickly to return to perfect operation faster than many other shotgun mics consistently and easily withstands and recovers from condensation phenomenon on par with the most stable shotgun mics on the market OTHER: the shorter form factor makes the 2017 an excellent choice for use on professional cameras with its total weight of 115g, the 2017 is light weight compared to other shotgun mics of its type FEATURES: accurate, clean sound from the primary sound source combines effortlessly with natural sound captured off-axis outstanding off-axis rejection for optimal isolation of the desired sound source easy to set up, position and use in fixed positions, on booms and on camera systems extraordinary durability with reinforced construction to perform in challenging environments, including high humidity extremely directional pick-up pattern, with an effective interference tube in a compact housing low self-noise, for excellent performance in quiet environments or with many open microphones incl. foam windscreen and clip SPECIFICATIONS: directional pattern: supercardioid at 1 kHz cartridge type: re-polarized condenser frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz effective frequency range, at 60 cm (23.6 in), with typ. soft boost at 15 kHz 70 Hz 18 kHz sensitivity, nominal, ±2 dB at 1 kHz 25 mV/Pa, -32 dB re. 1 V/Pa equivalent noise level, A-weighted Typ. 13 dB(A) re. 20 µPa (max. 15 dB(A)) distortion, THD < 1% 140 dB SPL RMS, 143 dB SPL peak max. SPL, THD 10% 148 dB SPL peak Dynamic range Typ. 130 dB weight: 115 g microphone diameter: 19 mm capsule diameter: 17 mm microphone length: 184 mm
