The black DPA 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun is a professional, multipurpose, weather-resistant microphone well suited to interviews, dialog, and voice-overs for video, DIY journalism, indie film, and broadcast applications. The mic weighs only .35 oz and features a built-in shockmount and 4" gooseneck allowing for a wide range of positioning options on set—it's lighter and more flexible than traditional boom mics making it easier to interview subjects from a distance. The small footprint also makes it exceptionally good as a directional plant mic, delivering great audio from tight spots.

The supercardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the subject, reducing unwanted off-axis background sound and enhancing speech intelligibility. In addition, the mic has low self-noise, high sensitivity, and is capable of handling high SPLs, for natural undistorted results even during unpredictable shoots when a subject yells or shouts. The 4097 is optimized for speech with a flat-frequency response up until the 2 dB soft boost in the 10 kHz range providing the crisp presense typical of DPA microphones— clear, consistent sound that requires less postproduction tweaking.

Optimal powering is provided via 48V phantom power, although the mic will also run on 12V phantom power but at a reduced capacity to handle high SPLs. Similarly, the 4097 can operate on 5 to 10V from bodypack transmitters. It can also work on 3 to 4V from low-DC transmitters, but again the reduced power means the mic is more likely to distort if the talent or interview subject shouts or gets loud.

The 4097 is built to handle the rigors of location shooting and is IP58-certified for resistance to moisture, extreme temperatures, and humidity. With housing covered in a water-repellant nano coating and the sensitive amp at the core of the mic hermetically sealed, the 4097 micro shotgun is ready for action in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor locations.

A Versatile Solution for Interviews, Dialog, and Voice-Overs
  • The high-sensitivity condenser capsule picks up spoken words at a distance but can still handle loud SPL peaks up to 135 dB.
  • With a supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses audio capture on the subject, unwanted background sound is naturally attenuated—for clear, intelligible speech.
  • The narrow pickup pattern reduces reflections and noise for better voice-overs in hotel rooms and other on-the-go locations.
  • Its small footprint and light weight make the 4097 much easier to use with a boom for distant interviewing.
  • The matte-black, non-reflective finish and discreet styling are well suited to TV and video applications.
Flexible Postitioning
  • The 4" gooseneck and redesigned swiveling MicroDot connection offers a wide variety of positioning options to give you optimal sound with booms and wireless transmitters.
Outstanding as a Directional Plant Mic
  • The supercardioid polar pattern lets the mic pick up dialog even in noisy situations.
  • The short barrel length and free-running, lockable MicroDot nut allow you to easily get the mic in tight spots for great sound.
  • IP58-certified, the 4097 is resistant to moisture, extreme temperatures, and humidity with a water-repellant nano coating on the housing and hermetic sealing of the sensitive amplifier at the core of the mic.
  • The built-in shockmount makes the mic a great fit for car mounting—clipped to the dashboard or packed away above a sun visor.

A FUN BOOK TO READ
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was full of fun dialog and jokes. It made me laugh, just rolling with laughter. It was interesting to learn about that area of the country, especially the Cubs aspect. A pleasant surprise was that one of the MCs was a Jew. I liked feeling the connection because there aren't that many in the books I've read. The Thanksgiving dressing made with challah was a nice touch. I tried finding more books by this author but didn't have any success. I wonder if this is her first. I will read more if I find them.

Young adult wlw romance
Format: Kindle
Picked this one up spontaneously. It's a cute YA romance between Murphy, a lesbian trying to pass her accounting class, and an old highschool classmate, Ellie. Ellie has glamped up into an artsy bisexual just trying to convince her mom to splurge on grad school in NYC. When they run into each other at a bar, they find out they can help each other after discovering Ellie's mom is Murphy's professor! it's fake dating and one night to forever 😍 there's no spice but tons of humor! The characters read their age, young, disorganized, semi toxic. More of a young adult read.

Cute holiday fake dating book
Format: Paperback
This is a quick and easy fake-dating holiday sapphic romance. It did feel a bit rushed, but the characters in the book are all likeable. Ellie and Murphy are our main characters. You also get to see that struggle of when you are an adult, but you don’t quite have life figured out and some still treat you like a kid. Well, some of us are well past the age of the characters in this book and still look around for an adult. So, that part is relatable. There were parts where the book did feel clunky. I still enjoyed the book, and it was a nice break from some of my darker reads. Especially going into the holidays. I would classify this as new adult romance.
