DPA 2017

The 2017 Shotgun Microphone is an extremely directional mic that combines crystal clear, authentic sound and stable, consistent performance under harsh conditions.

Its acoustical performance sets it apart from any competition. It has efficient off-axis rejection combined with an off-axis frequency response that is much more linear than most similar shotgun mics on the market. These are exactly the capabilities that result in authentic sound.

In addition, the 2017 performs consistently in a variety of conditions, like cold weather and humid environments as well as in generally harsh situations.

Finally, although the interference tube surrounding the capsule is quite long, the entire mic is contained in a shorter, lighter mic housing than many other mics that it outperforms. This makes the 2017 a practical choice in a wide range of applications.

• Physical robustness: the technology used for the capsule and the structure protecting it, determines the resistance of the microphone against moisture, temperature changes and mechanical impact.

• Non-modular design without moving mechanical parts, with the heavy-duty grid and the best slits pattern is very durable and can withstand mechanical impact without effect on microphone's functionality.

• Designed to perform perfectly and without interruptions under persistent cold or heat as well ashumid conditions.

• Survives exposure to direct rain showers and dries up quickly to return to perfect operation faster than many other shotgun mics on the market.

• Consistently and easily withstands and recovers from condensation phenomenon on par with the most stable shotgun mics on the market.
