Over the past few decades, the demand for more captivating and experiential TV production has generated an immense evolution in terms of broadcast visuals. However, the way audio is captured has largely stayed the same.
Shure (ISE 2026 Stand 3M300) is opening up new possibilities for how sound is captured in broadcast by harnessing the power of microphone array technology with the new DCA901 planar array microphone.
Designed for sports, studio and live event production, the DCA901 delivers front-row sound to viewers while reducing the number of microphones and cables required. It replaces traditional workflows along with their complex setups and higher costs, with a streamlined, high-fidelity solution. Digitally steerable lobes and onboard digital signal processing, allow engineers to isolate sources, reduce ambient noise and maintain ultimate control over the mix. This modern approach delivers more precise audio than ever before.
Broadcast engineers are no longer constrained by physical limitations and can design environments that match the ambition of today’s visual quality. For audiences, the result is a more immersive, emotionally impactful experience.
