INTRODUCTION
The DPA 4017 is a short and exceptionally lightweight shotgun microphone,
offering a very directional pickup pattern with the typical natural DPA clarity
maintained.
The 4017 has been designed for a broad range of uses, from camera systems
to fixed positions at sports facilities and for booming in ENG, broadcast, and
film applications. Due to its remarkable clarity, wide dynamic range, and excellent
rejection characteristics, the 4017 is equally at home in the recording studio and
when used for sound reinforcement/live music miking.
At just 210 mm (8.3 inches) in length and 71 grams (2.5 ounces) in weight, the
4017 is compact in size and among the lightest boom microphones available.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The cartridge
The condenser capsule uses a high voltage pre-polarized back plate, giving
the DPA 4017 high output (sensitivity: 30 mV/Pa) as well as low noise and low
distortion.
The preamplifier
The output is transformerless and signal balanced between pin 2 and pin 3.

Filters
DPA 4017 features two switching filters which are controlled at the switching ring,
and a permanent third order high pass filter at 50 Hz (See fig. 3).
Switching filters
High boost: When the switching ring is turned on, the filter is on, giving +4 dB
at 8 kHz (shelving). It is recommended for any high frequency loss caused by use
of third party manufacturer’s windshield. Use DPA WINDPAC® to avoid any high
frequency attenuation.
Bass roll-off: By turning the switching ring on, the filter is on, giving a first order
(6 dB/oct) bass roll off below 300 Hz. This decreases unwanted low frequency
disturbance from handling and wind noise. Furthermore, it can be used to tune
the desired amount of bass in a voice, as the bass response of the microphone
is influenced by the proximity effect. Short distances to a performer will usually
require the bass roll-off filter to be switched on to compensate for the low fre-
quency rise.

CARE OF MICROPHONE
No preventive maintenance is required on this product. The microphone car-
tridge is tightly secured to the main body housing and no attempt should be
made to remove it.
Use of windscreen is recommended when microphones are used in dirty, dusty,
and windy environments.
When not in use, the microphone should be disconnected and kept in the case
supplied or similar protection.
