SE Electronics DYNACASTER DCM8

The DynaCaster was designed from the ground up to establish a new standard for broadcast microphones. Its brand new DMC8 capsule and integrated DYNAMITE preamplifier offer better sound reproduction, greater sensitivity, and less noise than the standards of decades past. The capsule features a patented shock absorption system integrated into its body, eliminating the need for a bulky external mount. Better yet, the three recessed switches on the back of the microphone allow you to adapt the DynaCaster to your specific sound needs.

The DynaCaster is compatible with all broadcast boom arms. In addition, the XLR jack is integrated into the stand's mounting point for discreet cabling and a low profile for on-camera applications. The internal triple-layer pop filter is removable for cleaning and designed to provide sufficient pop protection for use without a 'bulky' external pop filter. However, we have included an external windscreen, just in case that fits your preference.

The DynaCaster is not just a speech microphone. It can be used for vocals, acoustic instruments, and amp miking. All the features that make it ideal for broadcast applications also double as tone-shaping options when recording and performing music.

When the DYNAMITE I/O switch (in the middle) is in the 'on' position, the DynaCaster's internal DYNAMITE preamplifier provides an additional 30 dB of gain, ideal for speech and softer sources. This requires phantom power. In the 'off' position, the DynaCaster operates as a fully passive microphone, requiring no external or phantom power.
