With its supercardioid polar plot, the DPA 4097 Micro Shotgun Microphone offers a highly-directional pick-up pattern as well as low self noise and high sensitivity. The mic is capable of handling high SPLs, which allows it to deliver undistorted natural sound, even when users speak loudly or yell. Outstanding audio quality Wireless podium mic capability Highly directional – very isolated High rejection of radio frequency interference Optimized for speech With a linear response, low distortion and an extremely large dynamic range, it sounds great no matter how challenging the environment. In addition, dialog and background noise off to the side (off-axis) of the microphone preserves the audio quality; it just drops in level. Rugged enough for film sets Wind machines, rain machines, tight costumes, quick changes – these are normal situations on some film sets and they require durable microphones. The 4097 was built to withstand harsh use as well as water, wind, dust, heat, cold and many other tough conditions that can be commonly found both on location and on a film set. The DPA 4097 Micro Shotgun Mic is outfitted specifically so that it can be used in difficult filming locations like a car. Its foam windscreen protects it from wind noise, even when windows are down (due to tight spaces and camera placement). The built-in shock mount is also particularly useful when filming in a moving car. It has a small, slim, unobtrusive footprint and a black matte, non-reflective surface, which diminishes reflections from lights, making it even easier on the film crew. A flexible broadcast solution for challenging times The 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mic is a lightweight, easy-to-use, multi-purpose problem solver for a range of broadcasting situations – including interviewing as well as voice over work. This mic makes it easy to deliver great sound in challenging situations. It shines in outdoor locations, handling inclement weather and limiting intrusive background noises. It’s a professional solution for professional broadcasters. Due to the highly-directional pick-up pattern, it is easy to focus on what the interviewee is saying. While the speaker’s voice is captured clearly in front of the mic, background noises are captured at a lower level (off axis), making the entire interview clear and pleasant to listen to. In addition, the mic has low self-noise, high sensitivity and is capable of handling high SPLs. Even if the interviewee yells, the sound will still be natural and undistorted. With a linear response, low distortion and a large dynamic range, this mic captures amazing sound no matter how challenging the environment. In fact, the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mic is outfitted to be used in difficult broadcast locations. The built-in shock mount is handy when distance interviewing.
