Shotgun Microphone for Video Recording

The 2017 shotgun microphone is an extremely directional microphone that combines crystal-clear and defined sound with stable, consistent performance even in challenging environmental conditions.

Its acoustic performance sets it apart from any competing product. It features highly efficient off-axis rejection combined with a much more linear frequency response than most shotgun microphones on the market. These features result in a true-to-life sound.
Additionally, the 2017 performs stably in a wide range of conditions, such as extreme cold or humid environments, as well as generally tough situations.
Finally, although the interference tube is quite long, the entire microphone is housed in a shorter and lighter casing compared to many other similar microphones. This makes the 2017 the best choice for a wide range of applications.

The accurate, defined sound of the front sound source combines perfectly with the linear sound captured off-axis.
Exceptional durability, with a reinforced build to withstand harsh environments, even with high humidity.
Outstanding off-axis rejection for optimal isolation of the desired sound source.
Extremely directional pickup pattern, with an effective interference tube housed in a compact casing.
Easy to set up, position, and use in fixed positions, on a boom pole, or mounted on cameras.

With an extremely low self-noise, it delivers excellent performance even with weak sources or multiple open microphones.
With an extreme Sound Pressure Level (SPL) handling capability up to 143 dB SPL peak, an extremely low self-noise of 13 dB(A), and a dynamic range of 130 dB, the 2017 excels where other good shotgun microphones fail, making it useful even in applications where this type of microphone is traditionally not used.

The very low self-noise is crucial when capturing/amplifying low-level sources or when many microphones are open simultaneously.
