DPA d:dicate™ 4017B-R Shotgun Microphone With Rycote Windshield

4017B-R Shotgun Microphone With Rycote Windshield

DPA Microphones has joined forces with Rycote® to develop the d:dicate™ 4017B-R Shotgun Microphone with Rycote® Windshield Solution. The strong suspension and windshield has been designed specifically to take the mic’s compact size and light weight into consideration.

This kit provides everything an outside broadcaster, journalist or location film maker could need for clear, directional sound, regardless of weather and environmental conditions.

At just 210 mm (8.3 in) and 68 g (2.4 oz), 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 19 mm (0.75 in) 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 microphone capsule

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.
