DPA 2017 SHOTGUN MICROPHONE

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
