About DPA Microphones CORE 4097

Become the go-to professional for crystal-clear audio capture with the CORE 4097 Micro Shotgun Microphone, designed meticulously for optimal speech intelligibility. Featuring a supercardioid polar pattern, this compact powerhouse ensures a highly-directional pickup, adept at focusing on the speaker's voice while minimizing off-axis sounds. Its low self-noise and high sensitivity allow for pristine audio reproduction, even in scenarios where the subject is speaking at elevated volumes or amidst loud environments.

The 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mic excels in delivering a linear response and low distortion across an impressively wide dynamic range, ensuring that your recordings maintain their natural timbre and clarity, regardless of the setting's challenges. This makes it an indispensable tool for broadcasting professionals who require top-notch sound quality in interviews, voice-overs, and outdoor broadcasting, where weather and background noise can be unpredictable.

Engineered for versatility and ease of use, this microphone is a lightweight solution that addresses the demands of modern broadcasting. Its robust construction is matched by its adaptability to harsh conditions, making it a reliable choice for film sets where it can withstand the rigors of wind machines, rain, dust, and temperature extremes.

The 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mic is thoughtfully designed with a built-in shock mount to reduce handling noise, particularly useful when recording in motion, such as inside a moving vehicle. Its discreet profile with a matte black finish ensures minimal visual presence and reduces light reflection, a critical feature for maintaining the visual integrity of film productions.

A unique swivel mechanism at the MicroDot termination enhances the microphone's positioning flexibility, allowing for quick adjustments and optimal aiming directly from the transmitter - a feature that is especially beneficial in confined spaces.

Consistency in audio quality is paramount in post-production, and the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mic shares the same sonic signature as DPA's renowned 4017 Shotgun and 4060/6060 Lavalier microphones. This uniformity simplifies the sound mixing process, saving time and preserving the original sound without the need for compensating for disparate microphone characteristics.

At the core of this microphone's exceptional performance is the interference tube technology paired with CORE by DPA. This combination enhances directionality and off-axis rejection, allowing for focused audio capture with consistent frequency response. The microphone's IP58 certification underscores its resilience, featuring a water-repellant nano-coating, hermetic amplifier sealing, and dual gold-plated diaphragms, ensuring that the microphone operates flawlessly even in the most demanding environments.

Elevate your audio recording capabilities with the CORE 4097 Micro Shotgun Microphone, a professional-grade tool that promises durability, consistency, and superior sound quality for broadcasters and filmmakers alike.
