DPA 4017B-R Shotgun Microphone incl. Rycote Windscreen

The DPA 4017B-R Shotgun Microphone is a unidirectional shotgun microphone, with a supercardioid directional pattern, a pre-polarised condenser, and includes a Rycote windshield. At just 210mm and 68g, this mic is one of the shortest and lightest shotgun condenser microphones available. At the same time, it offers impressive accuracy, clarity and musicality. The mic is fully immune to RF emission and the 19mm  condenser cartridge is capable of handling peak SPLs of 152 dB before clipping. Designed for a broad range of applications, the d:dicate Microphones Series is ideal for use with camera systems, in fixed positions at sports facilities, for broadcast/ENG/film booming and even studio recording environments.

The d:dicate 4017B-R Shotgun Microphone with Rycote Windshield is equipped with a highly-directional hypercardioid pickup pattern; obtained using a supercardioid design with an interference tube that provides excellent off-axis rejection. Its unique directional pattern is useful when you need exceptionally high directivity with high background noise rejection. It is convenient when you cannot place the mic close enough to the sound source. The MMP-B preamplifier is best if you want easily accessible high boost and low cut switches.
