DPA Microphones introduces the 2017 Shotgun Microphone, a compact yet robust solution ideal for capturing clear sound in diverse applications. The device is being showcased at ISE 2024.
Versatility and Durability
The 2017 excels in AV, live performance, and broadcast settings due to its high directivity, clarity, and consistency. Its durable design makes it suitable for use in extreme weather conditions or harsh environments, ensuring reliability even under challenging circumstances.
Technical Features
Measuring 184mm (7.24 inches) in length, the 2017 is smaller than many other models but retains impressive performance. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 45°C with up to 90% relative humidity, making it adaptable for a wide range of climates.
Acoustical Performance
The microphone's design includes a specially crafted capsule paired with an advanced interference tube and grid, offering excellent on-axis and off-axis performance. Its high degree of off-axis rejection ensures that the main audio source remains prominent, while ambient noise is effectively managed.
Audio Quality
The 2017 captures precise and clean sounds from subtle sources as well as louder ambient noises. With low self-noise, it performs exceptionally in environments with multiple open microphones, maintaining clarity and quality.
