A Digital Mic Array Specifically Tailored for Broadcast
Tailored specifically for broadcast applications, the Shure DCA901 enables you to capture up to eight isolated audio channels from a single microphone array. Steerable lobes allow you to virtually adjust your pickup zones, reducing the number of required microphones and eliminating the need for mic adjustments. Moreover, the DCA901's onboard DSP, which includes EQ, compression, delay, and auto-mixing, helps you achieve clean, polished results without requiring external processing. You also get compatibility with REMI workflows and alternate feeds using flexible routing and remote lobe control, presets for streamlined deployment, and support for seamless 5.1 capture and stereo conversion across a wide range of formats. On top of that, the DCA901 delivers everything — audio, power, and control — over a single network connection. Boasting a sleek, low-profile design, you'll find that the DCA901 covers a lot of ground for such a compact unit, enabling you to capture fast-paced action with fewer mics and cables.
