DPA Microphones, a leader in sound technology, has unveiled its latest offering: the 2017 Shotgun Microphone.
Crafted to provide unparalleled sound fidelity, directionality, and consistency, the 2017 is a stellar choice for demanding broadcasting scenarios. From mainstream news and athletic events to ambient location sounds or concert recordings, this microphone shines with its reliability and sound quality.
Helga Volha Somava, DPA Microphones’ Product Management Director, shared her enthusiasm about the new addition: “The market offers an array of shotgun microphones, but the 2017 is engineered to be a cut above. Despite its compact size of only 184mm (7.24 inches), it boasts superior technological attributes. Its robust design, user-friendly features, and top-tier acoustics ensure it captures the essence of every event with precision. Whether it’s stationed at a fixed position in studios or used on camera systems and booms, the 2017 is specifically tailored for optimum broadcast and live sound quality. We aimed to offer a product that not only challenges the leading brands but also delivers exceptional value to industry professionals.”
A noteworthy feature of the 2017 is its remarkable resilience. Built to endure challenging environmental conditions, this microphone is constructed to withstand both mechanical impacts and extreme weather variations. Whether it’s facing the moisture of a torrential downpour or the dryness of a desert, the 2017 consistently performs. Its endurance is further highlighted by its successful testing in high temperatures of up to 40°C (104°F) with 90-percent relative humidity, as well as in freezing conditions plummeting to -40°C (-40°F). Such ruggedness ensures that broadcasts or events can proceed without a hitch, delivering stellar sound regardless of unpredictable conditions.
For professionals in the broadcasting and event industry, consistency, clarity, and durability are paramount. With the 2017 Shotgun Microphone, DPA Microphones underscores its commitment to delivering these qualities in one compact yet powerful package.
