• For use in panels, boardroom applications, and videoconference situations, the DPA 4098 offers trouble-free installation and delivers pristine, clear sound.
• The mic reproduces crisp, intelligible speech up to the standards of demanding professionals and panelists, including interpreters who need to be able to clearly hear a speaker's every nuance.
• The supercardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture tightly on the person directly in front of the mic, picking up less unwanted background sound and helping to reduce feedback when loudspeakers are used for sound reinforcement.
• The microphone capsule's consistent off-axis response means that speaking into the side of the mic doesn't make the audio sound worse, it just drops the voice level.
• Even passionate speakers are no problem for the 4098; the capsule can handle loud speech at peak volumes of up to 133 dB SPL before distortion occurs.
• The factory-mounted foam windscreen helps to reduce breath and plosive noise.

• The 4098 is available in a variety of configurations for use with podiums, desks, and tabletops; and the shorter models can be mounted in the ceiling.
• Elegantly designed, the low-profile appearance is well suited to videoconferencing and public announcements.
• This version features a 6" boom with a full gooseneck to provide optimal positioning for ceiling use.

Q: 1. Would the Avenger D200 2.5 grip head tighten around the hexed end of this boom arm?

Q: 2. I know what this boom arm can supposedly support 15lbs at its max. extension, but what is the load rating at its min. extension? I'm trying to hold a Westcott Zeppelin above and angled over my subject, but the parabolic shape hinders its ability to be angled downwards. As such, I am resorting to using a boom arm to lower its angle. As such, I will not need the longer extensions and want to know how much this arm will hold at its shortest length. I'm looking to hold the Zeppelin 47 , with the Bowens bracket, as well as the focusing rod and the Bowens speed ring to hold my attach my Phottix Indra500 TTL. I think the total weight is something around 17-19lbs.

Q: 4. Black or silver?

A: I have a production company and film, edit all of the work and black is better for blending in and no reflections from the pole. You can still get reflective views off sides of cars, glass etc. Go Black!

Q: 5. How much weight is it rated to hold?

A: Hi DavidAt the arm's full extension the manufacturer advises 7kg or around 15.43lb. I've put the following on with no issues: Profoto D1 with a 3' octobox Bowens Gemini Espirit 500 monolight Profoto D1 with a Mola 22 beauty dish Profoto ProTwin head with Magnum reflector I always have a 10 lb counter weight clamped to the arm for balance. (Those yellow painted ones from Impact)All of this sits on an Avenger C stand, and the whole setup feels very stable. I've used this setup for a couple of years, at the time I bought the arm I looked at a whole bunch of different booms, this arm was the best solution for me for load capacity, portability and price as I had a spare C stand I could mount it to.Hope this helps!
