New DPA 2017 Shotgun Microphone | A Brief Review

I decided it was finally time to upgrade my shotgun to something I could really depend on. Price and/or size was keeping me from picking any of the current options in the market and as fate would have it, DPA announced a brand new DPA 2017 Short Shotgun Microphone and it's the perfect balance of size, weight, quality, and price. It's probably the best value professional microphone on the market right now. I had planned to spend the $999 but when I spotted a used: 10+ condition for $699 it was too good to pass up. I've been on two full-day video productions, booming it for one interview as well as several recording sessions in testing around the house. I'm very pleased with the audio profile and I look forward to putting this to work for many years to come.
