DPA Microphones 2017 Shotgun Supercardioid Microphone, Black

An embodiment of professional audio recording, the 2017 Shotgun Supercardioid Microphone in sleek black, is a product of DPA Microphones, a brand synonymous with high-quality and reliable audio equipment. This innovative microphone is designed with a supercardioid polar pattern, a feature that enables it to capture sound from a specific direction while minimizing ambient noise. This makes it an ideal choice for recording focused audio in live performances or in situations where precision is key.

The microphone boasts an effective frequency range of 70 Hz - 18 kHz, with a smooth 2 dB soft boost at 15 kHz, at a distance of 23.6 inches. This frequency curve is intentionally kept flat or linear, providing sound designers with the flexibility to tailor the sound to their specific application. To eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise such as rumble and handling noise, a permanent 3rd order low-cut filter at 60 Hz is incorporated. This filter is strategically placed to ensure the richness of the voice, ambience, or other sounds are preserved.

The 2017 Shotgun Supercardioid Microphone stands out with its superior off-axis rejection, thanks to the carefully designed interference tube in combination with the axisymmetric grid. This feature ensures a more uniform and linear off-axis response compared to other shotgun microphones in the market.

Renowned for its extraordinary performance reliability, this microphone delivers consistent results both indoors and outdoors, regardless of temperature and humidity. Its uniformity and reliability in manufacturing ensure minimum variation between units of the same model, providing similar stellar sound characteristics and performance across all 2017 Shotgun Microphones.

The microphone's physical robustness is a testament to its durability. The technology used for the capsule and the structure protecting it, ensures the microphone's resistance against moisture, temperature changes, and mechanical impact. Its non-modular design, heavy-duty grid, and optimal slits pattern make it highly durable and capable of withstanding mechanical impact without affecting its functionality. This microphone is designed to perform perfectly under persistent cold or heat as well as humid conditions. It can survive exposure to direct rain showers and dries up quickly to return to perfect operation faster than many other shotgun mics on the market. This microphone consistently withstands and recovers from condensation, making it one of the most stable shotgun mics on the market.
