DPA 2017: shotgun microphone for critical shooting

The DPA 2017 is a professional shotgun microphone with supercardioid pattern, designed to capture the primary source with extreme precision and naturalness. Perfect for live take in live, broadcast, cinema or theater environments, it ensures consistent sound that can be integrated into the mix, even with numerous open sources.

Uncompromising off-axis performance

With its carefully designed interference tube and symmetrical grille, the 2017 delivers natural and balanced off-axis pickup without artificial coloration. Ideal for noisy environments where isolating the main source is essential.

Designed for extreme durability

Constructed of brass with a scratch-resistant black anodized finish, the 2017 DPA is designed to withstand shock, moisture, extreme temperatures and demanding working conditions. It is shorter and lighter than many competitors, easy to install on boom or chamber systems.

Clean sound even in quiet situations

The exceptionally low noise floor (13 dB(A)) and ability to handle SPLs up to 143 dB peak make DPA 2017 suitable for situations with weak sources or presence of many open microphones. Uniform 360-degree response maintains tonal consistency even in case of unintended rotation.
