With its super cardioid polar plot, the DPA 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun Mic offers a highly directional pick-up pattern as well as low self-noise and high sensitivity. The mic is capable of handling high SPLs, which allows it to deliver undistorted natural sound, even when users speak loudly or yell. With a linear response, low distortion, and an extremely large dynamic range, it sounds great no matter how challenging the environment. In addition, dialog and background noise off to the side (off-axis) of the microphone preserves the audio quality; it just drops in level.
A Flexible Broadcast Solution for Challenging Times
The 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun Mic is a lightweight, easy-to-use, multi-purpose problem solver for a range of broadcasting situations - including interviewing as well as voice-over work. This mic makes it easy to deliver great sound in challenging situations. It shines in outdoor locations, handling inclement weather and limiting intrusive background noises. It's a professional solution for professional broadcasters.
Due to the highly directional pick-up pattern, it is easy to focus on what the interviewee is saying. While the speaker's voice is captured clearly in front of the mic, background noises are captured at a lower level (off-axis), making the entire interview clear and pleasant to listen to. In addition, the mic has low self-noise, high sensitivity, and is capable of handling high SPLs. Even if the interviewee yells, the sound will still be natural and undistorted. With a linear response, low distortion, and a large dynamic range, this mic captures amazing sound no matter how challenging the environment. In fact, the 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun Mic is outfitted to be used in difficult broadcast locations. The built-in shock mount is handy for distance interviewing.
Rugged Enough for Film Sets
Wind machines, rain machines, tight costumes, quick changes -- these are normal situations on some film sets, and they require durable microphones. The 4097 Plant Mic was built to withstand harsh use as well as water, wind, dust, heat, cold, and many other tough conditions that can be commonly found both on location and on a film set.
The 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun Mic is outfitted specifically so that it can be used in difficult filming locations, such as a car. Its foam windscreen protects it from wind noise, even when windows are down (due to tight spaces and camera placement). The built-in shock mount is also particularly useful when filming in a moving car. It has a small, slim, unobtrusive footprint and a black matte, non-reflective surface, which diminishes reflections from lights, making it even easier on the film crew. Blurring the lines between what is and isn't acoustically possible. CORE+ is a technology that neutralizes distortion across the entire dynamic range of the microphone, making any residual distortion imperceptible to the naked ear and virtually unmeasurable. Removing these remnants of distortion allows sound engineers to capture a new level of audio clarity easily and efficiently, so they can shape an extraordinary listening experience for the audience.
