In addition to the ultracompact, weather-resistant mic, the kit includes a Manfrotto telescoping boom, a 5.9' MicroLock cable to connect the mic to a transmitter or recorder, and a Rycote windjammer—along with a transmitter plate and cold shoe mount to give you a wide variety of connection options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the center of the action is the black DPA 4097 CORE+ Micro Shotgun, a professional, multipurpose, weather-resistant microphone well-suited to interviews, dialog, and voice-overs for video, DIY journalism, indie film, and broadcast applications. At only .35 oz and featuring a built-in shockmount and 4\" gooseneck for a wide range of positioning options, the 4097 is much lighter and more flexible than traditional boom mics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supercardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the subject, reducing unwanted off-axis background sound and enhancing speech intelligibility. In addition, the mic has low self-noise, high sensitivity, and is capable of handling high SPLs, for natural undistorted results, even during unpredictable shoots when a subject yells or shouts. The 4097 is optimized for speech with a 2 dB soft boost in the 10 kHz range providing the crisp presence typical of DPA microphones—clear, consistent sound that requires less postproduction tweaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptimal powering is provided via 48V phantom power, although the mic will also run on 12V phantom power but at a reduced capacity to handle high SPLs. Similarly, the 4097 can operate on 5 to 10V from bodypack transmitters. It can also work on 3 to 4V from low-DC transmitters, but again the reduced power means the mic is more likely to distort if the talent or interview subject shouts or gets loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4097 is built to handle the rigors of location shooting and is IP58-certified for resistance to moisture, extreme temperatures, and humidity. With a housing covered in a water-repellant nano coating and the sensitive amp at the core of the mic hermetically sealed, the 4097 micro shotgun is able to deliver professional sound in challenging environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interview kit includes the Manfrotto Compact Extreme 2-in-1 Monopod \u0026amp; Pole, which easily attaches to the mic's gooseneck and provides a lightweight extendable boom pole allowing you to get the 4097 close enough to your subject for optimal sound while still maintaining a safe distance. The included 5.9' MicroLock cable can then be adapted (various adapters available separately) for transmitters or an XLR adapter that is able to supply phantom power for the mic. Both a cold shoe mount and a transmitter plate are supplied, along with a Rycote windjammer that greatly reduces wind noise—helping to make the interview kit ready for action both indoors and outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Complete Solution for On-the-Street Interviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes the ultralightweight Manfrotto telescoping boom along with a 5.9' MicroLock cable to extend the 4097 Micro Shotgun toward your subject and capture terrific sound, all from a safe distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClip your existing transmitter into the holder at the bottom of the pole, connect it via a wireless DPA adapter (available separately), and you are ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts small footprint and light weight make the 4097 much easier to use with a boom for distant interviewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4\" gooseneck and redesigned swiveling MicroLock connection offers a wide variety of positioning options to give you optimal sound with booms and wireless transmitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe matte-black, non-reflective finish and discreet styling are well suited to TV and video applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Versatile Microphone for Interviews, Dialog, and Voice-Overs\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high-sensitivity condenser capsule picks up spoken words at a distance but can still handle loud SPL peaks up to 136 dB with only 10% total harmonic distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses audio capture on the subject, unwanted background sound is naturally attenuated—for clear, intelligible speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrow pickup pattern reduces reflections and noise for better voice-overs in hotel rooms and other on-the-go locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOutstanding as a Directional Plant Mic\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supercardioid polar pattern lets the mic pick up dialog, even in noisy situations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe short barrel length and free-running, lockable MicroLock nut allow you to easily get the mic in tight spots for great sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIP58-certified, the 4097 is resistant to moisture, extreme temperatures, and humidity with a water-repellent nano coating on the housing and hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe built-in shockmount makes the mic a great fit for car mounting—clipped to the dashboard or packed away above a sun visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicrophone Type\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShotgun\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolar Pattern\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupercardioid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElement Type\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectret Condenser\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControls\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrequency Response\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e80 Hz to 15 kHz (at 7.9 \" \/ 20.07 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum SPL\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e136 dB (Peak, THD 10%)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e134 dB (Peak, THD \u0026lt;
