Continuing its tradition of offering exhibition visitors even more bang for the bucks, DPA is once again running a daily draw at the company stand, with the opportunity for a lucky person to win a DPA microphone (d:vote or d:fine single-ear headset). To enter, all visitors must visit the DPA stand during each day of the show, collect a special pin and then return at 5 p.m. for the drawing, wearing the pin.
Appropriate accessories for vocalists who want to add more sparkle to their onstage performances, the new grids for the d:facto Vocal Microphone are available as accessories to existing solutions and are delivered as metal grids with foam and pop screen. Additionally, the nickel option matches the finish available on the Sennheiser 2000, 5200 and 9000 wireless mic systems, and comes complete with capsule and corresponding adapters.
"We saw a demand in the market to attain the d:facto sound with more than just the traditional black grids," says Christian Poulsen, CEO of DPA Microphones. "These grids are just the solution, as they bring an exciting new visual dimension to a microphone that is already internationally acclaimed for its great sound."
On exhibit for the first time in Europe will be DPA's new d:vote 4099 Rock Touring Kits, which give users a choice between a four-piece or 10-piece Peli case package. The company has also released two similar Classic Touring Kits for classical musicians. The 10-piece kit includes 10 d:vote microphones, 10 adapters and 25 holders for different instruments adjusted to either rock or classic applications. The four-piece kit includes four d:vote microphones, four adapters and 10 holders.
"Our d:vote microphones have always been popular with classical musicians because they deliver such fantastic sound and allow musicians to capture the true sound of their instruments," continues Poulsen. "In recent years, however, we've noticed a steady increase in sales to rock bands such as Metallica, D-A-D and Paramore, who have experienced how the DPA sound enhances their performance. With our Rock Touring Kits, we are making the sound engineer's task so much easier."
