Precision Audio Capture with the 4097 Micro Shotgun Microphone
At the heart of the kit is the DPA 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun, a lightweight yet powerful condenser microphone optimized for speech clarity. The supercardioid polar pattern focuses on the subject while reducing background noise, making it an ideal choice for interviews, voiceovers, and broadcast applications. Its low self-noise and high sensitivity ensure accurate sound reproduction, while the built-in shockmount minimizes vibrations and handling noise, resulting in professional-grade audio even in dynamic recording scenarios.

Rugged and Weather-Resistant for Any Location
Designed to withstand the challenges of field recording, the 4097 Micro Shotgun is IP58-certified for protection against moisture, extreme temperatures, and humidity. The microphone’s housing is treated with a water-repellant nano coating, and the internal amplifier is hermetically sealed, ensuring durability in unpredictable weather conditions. Whether conducting interviews in bustling city streets or harsh outdoor environments, this microphone is built to deliver consistent, high-quality performance.

Flexible Mounting and Positioning for Maximum Convenience
The included Manfrotto Compact Telescoping Boom offers an easy-to-use, lightweight extension for positioning the microphone closer to the subject while maintaining a safe working distance. The 4-inch gooseneck provides versatile angling options for optimal sound capture, whether mounted on a boom pole or handheld. The cold shoe mount and transmitter plate allow for seamless integration with various audio setups, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of recording equipment.

Superior Speech Clarity and High SPL Handling
The 4097 microphone is optimized for clear speech capture, featuring a subtle 2 dB boost in the 10 kHz range to enhance vocal presence. Its ability to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) without distortion makes it a reliable choice for dynamic interviews, even when subjects raise their voices. Powered via 48V phantom power, it also supports 12V, 5-10V bodypack transmitters, and even low-DC 3-4V transmitters, ensuring adaptability to various professional setups.

The 5.9-foot MicroDot cable provides flexible connectivity to transmitters or recorders, while the Rycote Windjammer effectively reduces wind noise for clean outdoor recordings.
