I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
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.
