Shure DCA901 Broadcast Microphone Array

The DCA901 opens new possibilities for capturing sound in broadcast and media production. This compact digital broadcast microphone array delivers eight channels of high-fidelity audio through a single network cable. Steerable pickup zones isolate the sounds that matter while minimizing ambient noise. With built-in DSP, fewer cables, and faster setup, it replaces bulky analog systems while supporting experiential, story-driven sound and modern production workflows.

Turn Every Viewer into a Front Row Fan

• Capture up to eight isolated audio channels from a single broadcast array microphone
• Steerable lobes let you virtually adjust pickup zones, reducing mic count and eliminating the need to reposition gear
• A single Dante or AES67 connection delivers audio, power, and control, simplifying routing and minimizing failure points
• Built-in DSP handles EQ, compression, delay, and automixing, giving you more time to focus on creative sound design
• Actively supports REMI workflows and alternate feeds with flexible routing and remote lobe control 
• Presets streamline deployments and ensure consistent configurations across shows or seasons
• Supports seamless 5.1 immersive capture and stereo conversion for both modern and legacy formats
• Low profile design installs cleanly in stadiums, studios, or mobile setups and blends into camera-ready environments

Deploy Less. Capture More.
