Shure DCA901 Broadcast Microphone Array

Turn Every Viewer into a Front Row Fan.

The DCA901 opens new possibilities for capturing sound in broadcast and media production. This compact digital broadcast microphone array delivers eight channels of high-fidelity audio through a single network cable. Steerable pickup zones isolate the sounds that matter while minimizing ambient noise. With built-in DSP, fewer cables, and faster setup, it replaces bulky analog systems while supporting experiential, story-driven sound and modern production workflows.
