Shure DCA901: a new immersive microphone scheme for broadcast

With the ability to capture up to eight independent channels of audio from a single device, the DCA901 Shure It is presented as a compact digital array microphone aimed at broadcast productions, sports and immersive environments.

He DCA901 groups a compact digital broadcast microphone array in a flat format that allows you to capture eight channels of audio of high fidelity through a single network cable. The system stands out for offering “adjustable logs” that allow you to adjust virtually the catchment areas, allowing you to isolate the sounds that matter and minimize ambient noise.

The system, powered by a single connection Dante o AES67 which provides audio, power and control, features a Built-in DSP that allows you to manage the EQ, compression, delay and automatic mixing. And it is that the speed of deployment is one of the keys to the development of Shure, which also has presets that optimize implementations.

All of these features allow the DCA901 microphone be able to admit a Smooth 5.1 immersive capture, as well as their respective stereo conversion, adapting to modern and traditional formats. In the face of increasingly common remote production, the system actively supports REMI workflows and feeds alternatives with flexible routing and remote lobe control.

The system, now available, comes accompanied by the launch of the windbreak A901-JMR.
