Following the release of the DDK4000 Drum Microphone Kit, DPA Microphones has launched several further professional sound microphone kits comprising a selection of high-quality condenser mics for a range of purposes. These include the DLK4000 Live Microphone Kit, DSK4001 Studio Microphone Kit, DRK4001 Ultimate Recording Kit and DLS4000 Location Sound Kit.
‘We have listened to and taken notes from experienced sound engineers within multiple industries to correctly define which mics are most critical for each application,’ says Product Management Director, Helga Volha Somava. With the flexibility to easily upgrade the mics, tools and accessories, we aimed to provide audio professionals with the best starting point to reach their end goal.’
Offering an microphone and accessory selection for touring sound engineers, the DLK4000 Live Microphone Kit features 20 mics and capsules, along with a multitude of accessories to assist sound quality, clarity and consistency. Included in the kit are mics for lead and backing vocals, as well as mics for close-miking any live instrument. To further equip the live stage, the kit features various pencil mics for spot-miking instrument groups and capturing ambient sounds. Accessories such as extension cables, mic clips, mounts and windscreens ensure easy set-up and breakdown no matter the instrument.
For miking more in the studio than on the stage, the DSK4001 Studio Microphone Kit offers a solution for small home studios and large professional spaces alike. These high-quality condenser mics are intended for recording bands, vocals and anything in between. This medium-sized kit contains instrument and vocal mics, as well as a wide variety of clips and holders, allowing simple set-up when close-miking a single instrument or spot-miking an entire group.
The DRK4001 Ultimate Recording Kit features more than two-dozen DPA condenser microphones and close to 100 functional accessories sit within this case, making it possible to mic any instrument. No other kit presently available can handle miking a full-service recording studio in such style. As DPA prioritises versatility, the DRK4001 can additionally aid in live-stage recordings.
This adaptability also shows in the DLS4000 Location Sound Microphone Kit, which features all the standard TV/film production solutions, along with cables, holders, concealers, adapters and clips. From shotguns for booming to micro-shotguns for discreet plant-miking and a range of lavaliers for close-miking, each microphone included in the kit has been chosen based on input from professional sound engineers, to prepare users for whatever task is thrown their way.
