DPA just created your new favorite microphone.
Let’s say you are doing audio for a reality show, and need to be able to easily switch mics between the actors. DPA has the answer in their new d:screet™ Necklace Microphone.
The Necklace Microphone works with those ever tightening budgets, because it was designed for mounting by non-technicians. Just run it under a shirt, and push the ends of the Necklace together, and you are done. Since the mic features a really nice sounding d:screet 4061 omnidirectional miniature capsule in a soft rubber necklace, anyone can mount it on the actor, or have the actors do it themselves.
If you are running 8 wireless mics at a time, the fact that it doesn’t take a trained audio guy to get them all mounted becomes a big deal. If your actors aren’t wearing shirts because they are on a beach, you can still use the Necklace Microphone. Since this mic requires no shirt to fasten to, you are covered.
The d:screet Necklace Microphone comes in black, white, and brown and in a lengths of either 47 cm or 53 cm (18.3 in or 20.9 in), so it blends pretty well with skin and fabric.
I have always found that DPA mics have a fat, yet balanced sound that I love and the d:screet Necklace Microphone is no exception. The mic sounded great, weather it was on top, or under a shirt. In addition to a nice sound, these mics have very low noise, and an extremely high sensitivity.
The d:screet 4061 omnidirectional miniature capsules are capable of handling up to 144 dB peak before clipping, and with a linear response, low distortion and an extremely large dynamic range, they sound great no matter the application.
The d:screet Necklace Microphone adapts to all pro wireless systems, and I tested it with a Sennheiser G3 RF system. With great sound quality, and adapters available for all pro wireless systems, the d:screet Necklace Mic is the obvious choice for any application requiring a big sound in an easy to apply package.
