DPA Microphones Captures Clear, Natural Audio For International Superstar’s Las Vegas Residency.
In total, Desjardins and Savage use more than 40 DPA microphones for each performance including Dion’s three d:facto™ FA4018V Vocal Microphones (which include main wireless, spare wireless and wired), four d:facto FA4018V Vocal Microphones for the backup singers and guests, two d:dicate™ 2011A Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphones on the snare drums, 19 d:vote™ 4099 mics for the strings and brass sections, eight d:screet™ 4091 Omnidirectional Microphones for the sound system analyser, two d:dicate™ 4007 Omnidirectional Microphones for sound system tuning and six d:screet™ 4061 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphones for the crowd under the balcony.
On the snare drum, the duo turned to DPA’s d:dicate™ 2011A as they were looking for a reliable solution with a more modern sound compared to the popular choice. For Desjardins and Savage, the d:dicate™ 2011A mic captures details and subtleties that are sometimes found in a condenser mic, but can also survive the large dynamics of the instrument.
