The 4097 Core Micro Shotgun Mic from DPA is designed for challenging situations and times. It's attached to an extremely lightweight telescope boom allows users to interview at more than arm’s length.
With a supercardioid polar plot, the 4097 Core Micro Shotgun Mic offers a highly directional pick-up pattern as well as low self-noise and high sensitivity. The mic handles high SPLs, which allows it to deliver undistorted natural sound, even when users speak loudly or yell. It features a linear response, low distortion and a large dynamic range. In addition, dialog and background noise off to the side (off-axis) of the microphone preserves the audio quality; it just drops in level.
The 4097 Shotgun Mic weighs 330 g (11.6 oz) without transmitter and is designed for outdoor locations, to handle inclement weather and limit intrusive background noises. It is designed as a solution for filmmakers and content creators who need professional sound in a lightweight, small-footprint form factor. Due to its very small size, this mic solution can be also be used as a plant mic fitting in the smallest spaces on a film or theatrical set or packed away above a car's sun visor, clipped to the dashboard or attached under a table.
