"For the first time ever I was able to hear my voice as it really sounds because the microphone only amplified the sound - it didn't change my voice in any way," Margot Giselle says. "It was bright, clear and warm - and by allowing me to create all the vocal colours I wanted, the DPA d:facto microphone made singing really easy."
During her recent tour of the Netherlands, Margot Giselle worked with sound engineer Roel van Zeelst, from Dutch rental company IDAK, which has a large stock of DPA microphones. In conjunction with DPA's Dutch distributor Amptec, van Zeelst arranged for Giselle to test the new DPA d:facto Vocal Microphone as he felt it would be ideally suited to her voice and her singing style.
"I was performing with four musicians and singing a lot of acoustic material, and wanted a microphone that would allow me to recognize my own voice, even when it was amplified," Giselle explains. "The d:facto did exactly what I wanted and sounded so much better than any microphone I had used in the past. I was really delighted with it. The clarity and naturalness of the sound meant that I could relax on stage and just enjoy the performance."
