With DPA Microphones’ tiniest preamplifier design, the DPA Microphones 4017E Shotgun Microphone features an integrated cable solution with rear cable entry. It’s one of the shortest professional interference tube shotgun mics available today; only 4.9" in length and 4.3 oz in weight, including 9.8 ft cable and connector. It’s ideal for booming actors or capturing distant voice dialogue for broadcast and video situations.

The mic is immune to RF emission and the 0.75" condenser cartridge is capable of handling peak SPLs of 152 dB before clipping. The SM4000 Suspension Mount is included in the package. This allows the mic to be hung from the ceiling to create precision spot-miking of orchestra sections or ambience atmosphere.
