DPA 4017ER Shotgun Microphone

DPA 4017ER Shotgun Microphone

DPA 4017ER is a condenser shotgun microphone with an active cable.

Its interference design focuses pickup toward a chosen source. This is useful for boomed or suspended microphone placement on a film set.

The 3 m cable leaves the rear of the capsule interface. It can be routed behind the microphone; the 4017ES version has side entry.

The cable ends in a 3-pin XLR connector for P48 phantom-powered equipment. DPA specifies a 125 mm microphone body, 121 g weight, typical 13 dB(A) equivalent noise level and a 138 dB SPL peak limit at 10% THD.

Main Features

• Rear cable entry routes the lead behind the microphone when space at the sides must be kept clear.
• Narrow pickup helps reduce sound arriving from the sides during film or broadcast work.
• The active cable and XLR connector link the capsule to phantom-powered audio equipment.
• The 3 m cable length helps plan the distance to the recorder or mixer.
• The 125 mm microphone section is shorter than a 4017B with its directly attached preamp.
• The 19 mV/Pa sensitivity and typical 124 dB dynamic range help assess recording across varying sound levels.
