It’s perfect for capturing high-quality audio in dynamic settings without the bulk and limitation of traditional boom mics.

Superior Audio Capture with Focused Clarity
The supercardioid polar pattern of the 4097 Micro Shotgun Mic ensures that audio capture is concentrated on the subject, significantly reducing unwanted background noise and enhancing speech intelligibility. This mic is optimized for vocal clarity with a flat-frequency response that leads up to a 2 dB soft boost at 10 kHz, providing the crisp presence typical of DPA microphones—delivering clear, consistent sound that minimizes the need for post-production adjustments.

Adaptable Powering Options for Unpredictable Environments
The 4097 Micro Shotgun Mic is designed to be powered optimally via 48V phantom power, though it can also operate on 12V phantom power with a slight reduction in its ability to handle high SPLs. Additionally, it is compatible with 5 to 10V from bodypack transmitters and can even function on 3 to 4V from low-DC transmitters, providing flexibility in varied shooting conditions.

Built to Withstand the Rigors of Field Use
Engineered for durability, the 4097 is IP58-certified, ensuring resistance to moisture, extreme temperatures, and humidity. This microphone is ready to perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor locations, thanks to its housing covered in a water-repellant nano-coating and a hermetically sealed amplifier at its core, making it an ideal choice for challenging production environments.

A Tool for Every Professional Setting
With its compact size and discreet appearance, the 4097 Micro Shotgun Mic is not only functional but also visually unobtrusive, making it an excellent choice for television and video applications where non-distracting equipment is crucial. Its lightweight design and flexible gooseneck allow for easy manipulation and placement, perfect for capturing dialogue in noisy or confined spaces.
