Comprehensive Broadcasting Kit

For those needing a run-and-gun solution for Electronic News Gathering (ENG) and/or Electronic Field Production (EFP), look no further than the DPA 4097 CORE+ Interview Kit. At the heart of this stellar all-in-one kit is the DPA 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun Microphone, which has long been a premium and discreet miking choice for film sets, broadcasts, and interviews, thanks to its stellar sound, ease of use, and rock-solid DPA build quality. For the next generation of this esteemed “plant mic,” you get all of that and more. First, DPA’s CORE+ technology handles a very high 136dB max SPL peak level to deliver exceptionally natural, undistorted sound, and its 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, coupled with 111dB of dynamic range, captures every nuance. DPA has also improved the mic’s body construction and cable noise isolation to ensure peak performance. Additionally, the 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun mic’s supercardioid polar pattern and integrated interference tube deliver impeccable focus, high directionality, and steadfast off-axis rejection. You’ll also benefit from DPA’s renowned MicroLock connector, which provides an extremely secure locking connection and compatibility with a wide range of wireless systems. Furthermore, the 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun sports a sleek, updated look and unobtrusive design. Featuring windjammers from DPA and Rycote, a Manfrotto MPCOMPACT-BK telescoping boom pole, a CS-Clip cold shoe clip with G-Mount, and other essentials, the DPA 4097 CORE+ Interview Kit gives you a professional broadcast audio solution in a simple and compact form.

Super clean and natural sound

DPA mics are known for their transparent, uncolored sound, and the 4097 CORE+ certainly fits the mold. First, the CORE+ 4097 Micro Shotgun Microphone's 136dB max SPL peak level alleviates distortion worries, encouraging your talent to approach their performance with everything they've got. Plus, with a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, an overall 111dB of dynamic range, and the razor-sharp focus that only a supercardioid polar pattern and interference tube can bring, the 4097 CORE+ guarantees that the audience will hear every tender whisper as well. Lastly, DPA cleverly integrated a number of performance enhancements over previous iterations, including an upgraded mic body construction and improvements to cable-born noise isolation, to capture the cleanest, most natural sound possible.

Simply add your favorite transmitter

One of Sweetwater's live sound engineers’ favorite features of the 4097 CORE+ is how well it integrates with any wireless setup. The included MicroLock connector is not only a dependable performance upgrade but is also immediately compatible with a wide range of systems. For even more versatility, the 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun Microphone is also compatible with DPA’s 4099 instrument clip and mounting system, as well as optional gooseneck extensions and various cable lengths.

All the accessories that are fit to ship

No matter which story you're chasing, the DPA 4097 CORE+ Interview Kit enables you to confidently get the job done. It comes with nearly everything you'll need to get up and running, including windjammers from DPA and Rycote; a telescoping boom arm; a CS-Clip cold shoe clip with a G-mount and standard 1/4-inch thread; two MicroLock cables; a plate for your transmitter; and a 13-inch hook-and-loop strap.
