The DPA Microphpnes d:dicate 4017C shotgun mic is equipped with a highly directional hypercardioid pickup pattern; obtained using a supercardioid design with an interference tube that provides excellent off-axis rejection. Its unique directional pattern is useful when you need exceptionally high directivity with high background noise rejection. It is convenient when you cannot place the mic close enough to the sound source. The MMP-C preamplifier makes booming applications, such as in a car or in low-ceiling rooms, uncomplicated.

Extensive research and development has been undertaken to optimize the sound coming from the sides and back of the microphone. With the d:dicate has minimized often very unlinear response of a shotgun microphone due to its side lobes. The condenser capsule uses a high-voltage pre-polarized back plate, endowing the shotgun with high output as well as wide dynamics, extremely low noise and distortion specifications.

The d:dicate 4017C shotgun mic comes with Rycote windshield and suspension system—a fully packed and ready-to-go solution. At any time, and with no tools needed, it is possible to transform the d:dicate 4017C into a new configuration.
