The Shure DCA901 redefines how sound is captured for broadcast. As the first digital array microphone tailored for broadcast, it recreates the front-row experience by delivering immersive, natural audio that pulls the viewer closer to the action. This compact digital broadcast microphone array delivers eight channels of high-fidelity audio through a single network cable!
Whether covering a fast-paced game or a live studio production, the DCA901 streamlines deployment and gives engineers more control to shape a rich, detailed mix that keeps every moment in focus.
Digitally steerable lobes cover more ground than traditional analog setups, capturing everything from fast-paced movements to subtle exchanges with fewer physical mics and cables. One network connection delivers up to 8 channels of focused, high-fidelity audio with built-in DSP and direct outputs.
Shape Sound with Precision
Steerable lobes isolate the zones you want, minimizing ambient off-axis noise. Use Auto Position to quickly orient the lobe in your desired direction.
Streamlined Infrastructure
One network cable carries audio, power, and control, simplifying routing and reducing risk.
Simplify the Signal Chain
Internal DSP handles EQ, compression, delay, and automixing, reducing hardware needs and giving you more time to focus on sound design.
Fast, Repeatable Setup
Save and recall presets to deploy faster and maintain consistency across broadcasts, venues, or events.
Quality That's In The Details:
• Eight isolated pickup zones from one compact digital array
• Processes audio at the source for cleaner mixes and more efficient routing
• Captures experiential details that enhance fan experience and engagement
• One cable simplifies setup by delivering power, control, and audio
