The MMC4017
capsule is part of the flexible DPA Reference Standard series.
Equipped with a highly
directional supercardioid pickup pattern, obtained using a
supercardioid design with an interference tube that provides excellent
off-axis rejection, the DPA
4017B combined with the
MMP-B preamplifier is a short and exceptionally lightweight
shotgun microphone that truly measures up to DPA's impressive reputation for accuracy, clarity, and musicality.
Designed for a broad range of applications, the
4017B is ideal for use with camera systems, in fixed positions at sports facilities, for broadcast/ENG/film booming, and even studio recording environments.

Extensive research and development has been undertaken to optimize the
sound coming from the sides and behind the
microphone. Minimizing the often very un-linear response of a
shotgun microphone due to its side lobes is one of the key accomplishments of the MMC4017. The
condenser capsule uses a high
voltage pre-polarized back plate, endowing the
shotgun with high output as well as wide dynamics, extremely low
noise and distortion specifications.
