Designed to hold up to travel and repeated use in harsh environments, the 2017 can endure extreme weather and mechanical impact.
DPA Microphones, a Danish Professional Audio manufacturer of high-quality condenser microphones and microphone solutions, is set to shine a spotlight on the features of its compact 2017 Shotgun Microphone at NAB 2024. From its robust construction and user-friendly design to its top-notch acoustical properties, the 2017 microphone is poised to capture the essence of any broadcast, AV, or live event application. Measuring a mere 7.24 inches (184mm) in length, 2017 offers technological capabilities in a compact form factor, making it smaller than many other popular solutions while still delivering outstanding performance.
Versatility is a key focus with the 2017, as it is designed to be easily set up for a variety of applications, whether indoors or outdoors, fixed or booming. It’s an ideal choice for live sports, news broadcasts, and location sound applications, as well as for use on a FOH boom or fly bar in venues during live events.
Helga Volha Somava, Product Management Director, DPA Microphones, said: “Its flexibility, durable design and ability to withstand difficult environments or extreme weather make the 2017 ideal for broadcasters or live production professionals working in an array of applications. We built the 2017 to be a unique, all-purpose shotgun solution, and we look forward to showcasing it to our colleagues at NAB 2024.”
Designed to endure travel and repeated use in harsh conditions, the 2017 microphone can withstand extreme weather and mechanical impact. It remains resilient in humid conditions, direct rain showers, as well as dry, arid environments. Tested for use in settings with temperatures ranging from -40°F (-40°C) to 113°F (45°C) with 90% relative humidity, the 2017 consistently delivers exceptional sound quality regardless of the environment or weather conditions.
Featuring a specially designed capsule paired with a cutting-edge interference tube and microphone grid, the 2017 offers outstanding performance both on- and off-axis. With high off-axis rejection, the main source of sound stands out, while off-axis audio remains authentic and highly usable for mixing into the entire soundscape. The 2017’s low self-noise ensures performance, accurately capturing the nuances of every sound, even in quieter locations.
