DPA Brings Shotgun and Mini Cardioid to LVCC

DPA Microphones had the 4017 Shotgun Microphone on hand as well as their new
4080 Miniature Cardioid Lavalier. The 4017 is remarkably similar to Schoeps’ CMIT, sharing its LF roll-off and high boost switches. The switching is operated with rings running round the entire circumference of the mic. There is also a permanent third-order high-pass filter at 50Hz which is handy for reducing the effects of mechanical vibration.
The 4080 delivers isolation from mechanical noise by mounting the capsule in a foam windshield which is, in turn, held captive with a light pliable mount. This arrangement provides damping to the cable and the mounting can rotate on a standard ‘croc clip.’
