The DPA 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun is a professional, multipurpose, weather-resistant microphone well suited to interviews, dialog, and voice-overs for video, DIY journalism, indie film, and broadcast applications. The mic weighs only .35 oz and features a built-in shockmount and 4" gooseneck allowing for a wide range of positioning options on set—it's lighter and more flexible than traditional boom mics making it easier to interview subjects from a distance. The small footprint also makes it exceptionally good as a directional plant mic, delivering great audio from tight spots.
- The high-sensitivity condenser capsule picks up spoken words at a distance but can still handle loud SPL peaks up to 135 dB.
- With a supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses audio capture on the subject, unwanted background sound is naturally attenuated—for clear, intelligible speech.
- The narrow pickup pattern reduces reflections and noise for better voice-overs in hotel rooms and other on-the-go locations.
- Its small footprint and light weight make the 4097 much easier to use with a boom for distant interviewing.
- The matte-black, non-reflective finish and discreet styling are well suited to TV and video applications.
