PBS Series Relies on DPA Microphones
Award-winning music program '11th & Grant with Eric Funk' relies on DPA's d:vote™ and d:facto™ microphones to capture the nuances of its musicians' performances.
Audio director Jeremiah Slovarp has been using DPA microphones for three seasons, and he credits them with providing the power, reliability, and subtlety needed to produce high-quality television programs.
DPA Microphones Provide Consistent Results
Slovarp notes that the d:vote™ 4099 Stereo Microphone System provides a transparent sound that is ideal for capturing piano performances. The system's ability to handle a variety of instruments and applications has made it a staple in Slovarp's arsenal.
The d:facto™ Vocal Microphones are also set to make an appearance on the show, allowing the crew to get closer to the artist's true sound. Slovarp praises DPA's consistent transparent sound from mic-to-mic, which he believes will increase the quality of the production.
Increased Efficiency and Flexibility
The ready-made kit that comes with the d:vote™ 4099 microphones simplifies finding mic accessories during filming. The kit includes a variety of clips to accommodate various classical instruments, making it easier for musicians to move around on stage without worrying about microphone cables.
Slovarp notes that the small yet powerful microphones make it easier for cameramen to work around valuable real estate that would otherwise be clogged with mic cables and gear.
