Is the DPA 2017 the Best Shotgun Mic for Modern Voice Over?

The DPA 2017 is here — and it’s one of the most natural, clean, and realistic-sounding shotgun mics I’ve ever tested for voice-over. In this first-look demo, I showcase how the 2017 performs in a pro VO environment, revealing its incredible clarity and sweet spot. No comparison to the Sennheiser MKH 416 yet — that’s coming in the next video. But spoiler: the 2017 might just be the modern sound we’ve been waiting for. 🎇My New Book📖 The Modern Voice Over Career Owner’s Manual — coming May 15. Your VO career deserves more than a demo.
