DPA 2017 Shotgun Microphone

DPA 2017 Shotgun Microphone

Engineered for broadcast professionals, the DPA 2017 is a versatile shotgun microphone built to handle demanding production environments.

Its robust construction delivers exceptional durability without compromising on acoustic performance.

The 2017 excels across multiple applications, mount it in fixed positions, attach to camera systems, or deploy on boom poles with equal reliability. Superior sound capture combined with intuitive operation makes this microphone an essential tool for studios, field recording, and on-location shoots. When precision audio matters, the 2017 performs.

Features:

• Accurate, clean sound from the primary sound source combines effortlessly with natural sound captured off-axis
• Extraordinary durability, with reinforced construction to perform in challenging environments, including high humidity
• Outstanding off-axis rejection for optimal isolation of the desired sound source
• Extremely directional pick-up pattern, with an effective interference tube in a compact housing
• Easy to set up, position and use in fixed positions, on booms and on camera systems
• Low self-noise, for excellent performance in quiet environments or with many open microphones
