{"product_id":"dpa-4017b-172580","title":"4017B","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Modular \"Pencil\" DPA Designed for Boom Pole, ENG, and Installations\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThe DPA 4017 belongs to the brand's family of modular pencil microphones, designed to offer a consistent sonic character across models. This continuity facilitates multi-mic shoots and recordings (boom mic, hidden miniature mics, etc.) by limiting timbre differences and thus reducing post-production workload. Its \"short shotgun mic\" design aims for a sought-after balance: marked directivity while maintaining precise and musical reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the DPA 4017 For and In Which Applications Does It Excel?\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThis shotgun mic is tailored for image sound recordists (broadcast, ENG, documentary), film boom teams, as well as fixed installations (sports, studio, occasional recordings). Thanks to its strong directivity, it is particularly suited for \u003cstrong\u003eremote dialogue capture\u003c\/strong\u003e and scenes where the main source must remain intelligible despite a noisy environment. In the studio, it can also become a precision tool when focused and clean capture is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003ch3\u003eAcoustic Design and Key Technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003eSupercardioid + Interference Tube: Focus and Rejection\u003c\/h4\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThe 4017 combines supercardioid directivity with an interference tube to achieve highly directional capture. This principle increases focus on the front of the microphone and improves rejection of side and rear sounds, a crucial point for boom pole use, sports recording, or studio where ambient noise is omnipresent.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003eMore Uniform Off-Axis Response: Fewer Audible \"Lobes,\" More Natural Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eDPA conducted specific work on the off-axis response to limit nonlinear effects often associated with shotgun mics (related to side lobes). The result: sounds coming from the sides and rear remain more natural, with controlled attenuation rather than marked coloration. This approach improves spatial coherence and intelligibility when framing or boom placement causes axis variations.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003ePreamp and Filters: Quick Control On Set\u003c\/h4\u003e \n\u003cp\u003ePaired with the MMP-B preamplifier, the capsule forms a short shotgun mic, very lightweight, and designed for shooting conditions. Two integrated filters, operated by rings, allow quick adaptation of the recording: a \u003cstrong\u003eHigh Boost\u003c\/strong\u003e (+4 dB at 8 kHz) useful to compensate for high-frequency attenuation with certain windshields, and a \u003cstrong\u003elow-cut\u003c\/strong\u003e (first order below 120 Hz) to reduce handling noise and wind rumble. A permanent high-pass filter (third order at 50 Hz) helps reduce very low-frequency disturbances.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003e\"Wireless Boom Pole\" Option: Reduction of Cable and Handling Noise\u003c\/h4\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eFor modern setups where the wireless transmitter is mounted close to the microphone, the 4017 solution dedicated to wireless systems aims to eliminate noise related to the external cable along the boom pole. It relies on an MMC4017 capsule and a short modular active cable MMP-G, integrated into a suspension and wind protection system. The assembly is optimized to accommodate certain compact mic transmitters (for example Lectrosonics SSM or Zaxcom ZMT3-Phantom 2) and protect not only the microphone but also the transmitter from the elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eShotgun Microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esupercardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSupercardioid, lobe-shaped\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating principle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePressure gradient with interference tube\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePre-polarized condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffective frequency range, +\/-2 dB, at 60 cm (23.6 in)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e70 Hz - 18 kHz with typical 3 dB soft boost at 15 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh boost\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e+4 dB at 8 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-cut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003efirst-order filter below 120 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal sensitivity, +\/-2 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e19 mV\/Pa;
