User’s Manual
Introduction
With its small footprint and clear audio pick up, the 4097
CORE Micro Shotgun Microphone can be used in the tightest
spaces. It is optimized to pick up speech in applications such
as in ENG/EFP broadcast or as a plant mic on film sets.
The mic sits on a 10 cm (4 in) gooseneck with a built-in shock
mount. A free-running nut on the MicroDot enables the mic
to be quickly turned and locked in the correct position.
The microphone uses a small
diaphragm prepolarized condenser
capsule with a supercardioid pickup
pattern mounted in an interference
tube, which sits inside of a replaceable
foam windscreen.
The interference tube in the 4097
CORE Micro Shotgun increases its
directionality, while maintaining flat onaxis frequency response and consistent
o-axis response. This allows the mic
to isolate what you’re trying to pick
up while attenuating sounds from the
sides and rear.
