• 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.

Q: 6. 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.
