The 4097 CORE+ Interview Kit makes it easy to deliver great sound in challenging situations. It contains a 4097 CORE+ Shotgun Microphone, which shines in outdoor locations, handling inclement weather and limiting intrusive background noises. It's a professional solution for professional broadcasters, who need amazing sound in a lightweight, small-footprint form factor. The MicroLock® connector provides even better stability and flexibility.
With its supercardioid 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. 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.
