Musicians and sound engineers searching for the ultimate in sound quality are sure to find their perfect microphone on the DPA Microphones booth (Hall 8, stand B70) at Prolight + Sound 2015 in Frankfurt, April 15 - 18. Throughout the show, the company says DPA's booth will be the place to go to learn proper microphone placement techniques for your instrument or vocal performer. The booth will feature workshops with live performances (up to five a day), hosted by DPA product specialists who will demonstrate vocal and instrument microphone placement on saxophone, acoustic guitar, and upright bass. There will also be a listening statopm where visitors can compare sound samples from the company's full line of microphones against those from other brands.

The company says DPA cares passionately about sound quality, and the company's extensive product range reflects this philosophy. Every DPA microphone is designed and produced to capture sound honestly, neutrally, and consistently. Artists who choose DPA know they can relax and concentrate on their performance, safe in the knowledge that their microphone is giving them the best possible input, from sound source to recording or amplification system.

"At DPA, we know what it takes to make great sound, and we are not satisfied with anything but the best," says DPA CEO Christian Poulsen. "Getting closer to our customers and sharing knowledge is very important for two reasons: it enables us to improve our microphones and it helps our customers perfect their sound. This is the focus of our presence at Prolight + Sound 2015 -- we want visitors to learn from us and find out for themselves why DPA Microphones is the best on the market and the ideal solution for their needs."

At the booth, DPA will be showing a wide range of products, including established models such as the d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphone and the popular d:facto Vocal Microphone -- now the vocal mic of choice for artists such as Sting, Stevie Wonder, Kate Bush, and Ellie Goulding. A re-launch of the d:facto range, including a new addition, will also be presented.

Additionally, DPA will present a range of body-worn microphones that are perfect for artists who want freedom of movement on stage. These include DPA's d:screet Miniature Microphones and the d:fine 66 and 88 Headset Microphones, which combine the flexible mechanics of the d:fine ear mount with the capsules from the 4066 omni and 4088 cardioid headsets.

At show for the first time will be the new d:fine In-Ear Broadcast Headset Microphone, which sets a new standard for the broadcast industry. Targeted at television hosts and guests who use in-ear monitors to communicate with their producers backstage, this versatile addition to the award-winning d:fine range combines the sound quality of a DPA microphone with a state of the art in-ear monitoring solution. The unit incorporates two cables -- microphone and in-ear -- that run parallel to give a neat and tidy look. Available in several in-ear combinations and color options, the unit comes with ear-pads in two different sizes and an adjustable headset mount, making it versatile and very easy to use. It is also possible to choose between left and right ear orientation, thus giving the broadcast host a "camera blind" side.
