Description
The DPA 4097 Supercardioid Choir Microphone is purpose-built to deliver natural, balanced sound for choirs, vocal ensembles, and worship services. Its slim profile keeps the microphone visually discreet while maintaining excellent audio quality. The elegant black matte finish minimizes reflections from stage lighting. Designed for professional environments, it blends seamlessly into live performances. The supercardioid pickup pattern provides focused sound capture. This makes it ideal for houses of worship, theatres, and broadcast productions.
Engineered for outstanding stability, the 4097 features three integrated shock mounts that significantly reduce handling noise and floor vibrations. The active boom pole quickly settles after accidental contact, helping maintain consistent audio during performances. Its specially designed floor stand offers a secure and balanced foundation. This reliable construction minimizes unwanted rumble and movement. The result is cleaner sound with fewer interruptions. It is built to perform in demanding live applications.
The microphone offers a wide frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring detailed and natural vocal reproduction. It supports both wired operation through the included XLR adapter and wireless systems using DPA adapters. With high SPL handling and low self-noise, it performs well even in dynamic performances. The lightweight microphone system is easy to position and transport. Professional-grade components ensure long-term reliability. It is an excellent solution for capturing choirs with exceptional clarity.
