DPA Microphones’s d:vote range of instrument mics, unveiled at Prolight + Sound 2012, build on the company’s 4099 instrument clip mic series, enhancing it with a new shock mount for better absorption, 1.55mm and 2.2mm diameter detachable cable options and an extension unit for the gooseneck supplied with the mic that lengthens its neck by 50 percent.
More details from DPA Microphones (www.dpamicrophones.com):
d:vote condenser mics feature supercardioid polar patterns for highly uniform off-axis frequency response and superior gain-before-feedback. Capable of handling high sound pressure levels, these microphones live up to DPA’s pedigree of breathtaking clarity and richness.
Despite its tiny, discreet size and lightweight design, d:vote is rugged and stable, while the versatile and extendable gooseneck provides stable positioning. The mics can easily be unclipped and repositioned or moved to another instrument with only one hand. d:vote’s microphone mounting system is designed to be extremely gentle, never marring the finish of an instrument.
The MicroDot connector and more than 35 DPA adapters ensure compatibility with just about any wireless system, and the product can also be used as a standard 48V phantom powered microphone via its supplied XLR connector.
