Overview

Get the interview and keep the distance with the 4097 CORE Interview Kit.

The DPA Microphones 4097 CORE Interview Kit makes it easy to deliver great sound in challenging situations. It contains a 4097 CORE Shotgun Microphone, which shines in outdoor locations, handling inclement weather and limiting intrusive background noises. It’s a professional solution for professional broadcasters, who need amazing sound in a lightweight, small-footprint form factor.

Free-standing solution
Mount the microphone on a tripod via the cold shoe mount and use it as a stationary interview mic on a table.

Transmitter-direct solution

Mount the microphone directly on the transmitter and place it on a podium or table. This is a quick and easy mic solution with a very small presence.

Voice-over recording
For on-the-go voice-over work, there are a number of DPA accessories that quickly turn the mic into the perfect tool for your situation.

A flexible and light solution
For a team doing on-location interviews, especially outdoors, it's important to have professional tools that make the entire process easy and flexible enough for any situation.

When you’re doing distance interviewing inside or out, the 4097 CORE Interview Kit gets you up and running quickly and easily — no extra equipment, complicated setup or workflow changes. A lighter, more flexible solution lightens your bag and eases your work.

Interview at (more than) arm’s length using the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mic attached to an extremely lightweight telescope boom. The solution collapses down to only about 40 cm (16 in) and extends all the way to 140 cm (55 in).
