2017 Shotgun Microphone
A professional shotgun microphone that captures authentic sound with high clarity and consistency.


The 2017 is designed to excel at the challenging requirements of the broadcast industry. It is a reliable mic, featuring durable construction - inside and out, as well as exceptional ease of use. These features, combined with its extraordinary acoustical properties, allow it to truly capture the vibe of the game and convey the action and emotion to the audience: the players jostling each other, the thud of a foot meeting the ball, the ping of a ball on the goal post, and even the players' voices, in an intelligible way. This makes the 2017 the mic of choice for broadcasting/streaming live sports events and ENG (Electronic news gathering) purposes either in fixed positions, on camera systems or on booms.
Because of its outstanding features, the 2017 can also be used in a range of other applications, such as:
• Theater - FOH boom, fly bar
• Location sound - in- or outdoor booming
• Live events - musicians’ ambience blend for in-ear monitoring


Main Features

• Accurate, clean sound from the primary sound source combines effortlessly with natural sound captured off-axis
• Extraordinary durability, with reinforced construction to perform in challenging environments, including high humidity
• Outstanding off-axis rejection for optimal isolation of the desired sound source
• Extremely directional pick-up pattern, with an effective interference tube in a compact housing
• Easy to set up, position and use in fixed positions, on booms and on camera systems
• Low self-noise, for excellent performance in quiet environments or with many open microphones
