Shure DCA901 Broadcast Microphone Array

The Shure 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.

The DCA901 redefines how sound is captured for broadcast. As the first digital array microphone tailored for broadcast, it recreates the front-row experience by delivering immersive, natural audio that pulls the viewer closer to the action. Whether covering a fast-paced game or a live studio production, the DCA901 streamlines deployment and gives engineers more control to shape a rich, detailed mix that keeps every moment in focus. Digitally steerable lobes cover more ground than traditional analog setups, capturing everything from fast-paced movements to subtle exchanges with fewer physical mics and cables. One network connection delivers up to eight channels of focused, high-fidelity audio with built-in DSP and direct outputs.
