What is the polar pattern of the 2017 microphone?
The 2017 is a shotgun microphone with even, yet very directional characteristics. Impressively, it is attenuated at 90° (around -10 dB) and reaches maximal rejection around 125° (more than -20 dB). Its polar pattern provides a more even pickup of on-scene sound sources than most other shotgun microphones and a larger rejection of out-of-scene noises, achieving a better overall performance than typical highly-directional microphones in its class.
What is the frequency response of the 2017 microphone?
Frequency response is 20 Hz - 20 kHz, but as with other DPA mics, we also state the
Effective frequency range, ±2 dB, at 60 cm ( 23.6" ) is from 70 Hz - 18 kHz with a smooth 2 dB soft boost at 15 kHz. The frequency curve is intentionally kept flat/linear, to allow the sound designer to tailor the sound to the specific application.
