Whenever I need to buy new kit this is the place to go. Wendy and her team have excellent knowledge of the equipment they supply, access to information from manufacturers about the kit and an attitude to genuine customer service that is not often found in today's globalised corporate world. I have dealt with all the main UK broadcast suppliers and buying from Wendy's is by far the best experience.

Keypoints for the 4017C Compact Shotgun Microphone:
Setting new standards for compactness within shotgun microphones and their applications, the modular 4017C is an exceptionally short and lightweight interference tube microphone with high directionality. The tight polar pattern is very frequency linear and uniform. With the compact MMP-C pre-amp, booming applications such as in a car or in low ceiling rooms is uncomplicated. The total length of the microphone is as short as 15,4 cm (6.1 in), the weight at just 70 g (2.5 oz).
Also available with Rycote Windshield and suspension system, the 4017C-R is a fully packed and ready solution.
