DCA901 Broadcast Microphone Array for Networked Broadcast Audio

The DCA901 Broadcast Microphone Array is designed for broadcast and media production teams that need flexible, high-fidelity audio capture without the complexity of traditional multi-mic analog setups. This compact digital broadcast microphone array delivers up to eight isolated audio channels over a single network cable, helping streamline installation, reduce cable runs, and support faster deployment in demanding production environments.

Built for modern workflows, the DCA901 uses steerable pickup zones to isolate the sounds that matter while minimizing unwanted ambient noise. Built-in DSP further simplifies the signal chain with onboard EQ, compression, delay, and automixing, making it easier to create clear, controlled audio for live broadcasts, stadium productions, studio environments, and remote production applications.

With support for Dante or AES67 connectivity, this broadcast array microphone also helps production teams simplify routing, power, and control through one connection. Its low-profile design blends cleanly into camera-ready environments, while preset support, flexible routing, and remote lobe control make it a strong fit for story-driven sound capture, REMI workflows, alternate feeds, and immersive audio production.

Key Features of the DCA901 Broadcast Microphone Array

• Eight-Channel Audio Capture: Captures up to eight isolated audio channels from a single broadcast microphone array for efficient, flexible sound acquisition.
• Steerable Pickup Zones: Virtually adjustable lobes help target important sound sources while reducing ambient noise and minimizing the need to reposition equipment.
• Single-Cable Networked Audio: A Dante or AES67 connection carries audio, power, and control through one cable to simplify setup and reduce potential failure points.
• Built-In DSP Processing: Integrated EQ, compression, delay, and automixing reduce reliance on external processing and support cleaner workflow design.
• REMI Workflow Support: Flexible routing and remote lobe control actively support remote integration and alternate feed production requirements.
• Preset-Based Deployment: Presets help speed setup and maintain consistent configurations across recurring productions, shows, or seasonal installations.
• Immersive Audio Compatibility: Supports seamless 5.1 immersive capture and stereo conversion for compatibility with both current and legacy production formats.
• Low-Profile Installation: Compact form factor installs neatly in stadiums, studios, or mobile production setups while maintaining a clean on-camera appearance.
