DPA Microphones will highlight the features of its compact 2017 Shotgun Microphone at NAB 2024 (Booth C7307). Designed for durable construction, ease of use and acoustical properties, the 2017 can be used for broadcast, AV or live event applications. “Measuring just 7.24 inches (184mm) in length, the 2017 is more compact than many popular solutions, yet it still offers impressive technological features, including extreme durability, high directivity, clarity and consistency for capturing authentic sound,” the announcement states.
DPA’s 2017 is designed for indoor or outdoor fixed or booming applications in live sports, news broadcast and location sound applications, as well as on a FOH boom or fly bar in venues during live events.
“Its flexibility, durable design and ability to withstand difficult environments or extreme weather make the 2017 ideal for broadcasters or live production professionals working in an array of applications,” says Helga Volha Somava, Product Management Director, DPA Microphones. “We built the 2017 to be a unique, all-purpose shotgun solution, and we look forward to showcasing it to our colleagues at NAB 2024.”
Designed to be durable in harsh environments like extreme weather, mechanical impact, humid conditions, direct rain showers, as well as dry, arid environments, it has been tested for use in settings with temperatures up to 113°F (45°C) with 90-percent relative humidity, and cold environments as low as -40°F (-40°C).
Featuring a specially designed capsule that is paired with a cutting-edge interference tube and microphone grid, the 2017 performs both on- and off-axis. It has a high degree of off-axis rejection, which permits the main source to stand out.
“This heavily attenuated off-axis audio is authentic and extremely usable for mixing into the entire soundscape,” the announcement concludes. “Audio professionals can now pick up accurate, clean sounds from even the most chaotic environments. For quieter locations, the 2017’s low self-noise promises an excellent performance, and accurately captures the nuance of every sound.”
