Shotgun Microphone With Rycote Windshield
DPA - 4017B-R
The Ideal Set Up For Challenging ConditionsDPA Microphones in collaboration with Rycote® have created the the d:dicate™ 4017B-R Shotgun Microphone with Rycote® Windshield Solution. The strong suspension and windshield has been especially designed to take the mic’s compact size and light weight into account. This kit offers everything an outside broadcaster, journalist or location film maker could ask for to capture clear, directional sound, for the toughest of weather and environmental conditions.
At just 210 mm (8.3 in) and 68 g (2.4 oz), this mic is one of the smallestand lightest shotgun condenser microphones on the market. It offers impressive accuracy, clarity and definition whilst fully immune to RF emission. The19 mm (0.75 in) condenser cartridge is capable of handling peak SPLs of 152 dB before clipping. Made for a wide variety of applications, the d:dicate™ Microphones Series is perfect for use with camera systems, in fixed positions at sports facilities, for broadcast/ENG/film booming and even studio recording environments.

The Microphone Capsule
off-axis rejectionThe d:dicate™ 4017B-R Shotgun Microphone with Rycote® Windshield features a highly-directional hypercardioid pickup pattern, made using a supercardioid design with an interference tube that provides impressive off-axis rejection.
Its unique directional pattern is helpful when you need extra high directivity with high background noise rejection. It is convenient when you cannot place the mic close enough to the sound source. The MMP-B preamplifier is best if you want easily accessible high boost and low cut switches.
