DPA Hits The Right Notes At London Jazz Festival

Sound production and rental company RSS has announced it will be sticking with DPA Microphones, following a successful stint at the London Jazz Festival.
The news follows a successful try-out of DPA’s d:facto™ Vocal Microphone at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
RNSS has now announced it has placed an order for six of the new d:facto II Vocal Microphones.
Richard Nowell, director of RNSS, says: "We have had a long association with DPA Microphones and already carry a large stock of the company’s products. I was intrigued by the new d:facto Vocal Microphone and was keen to try it out. The Jazz Festival gave us the perfect opportunity to put it through its paces. We borrowed two d:factos from DPA’s UK distributor Sound Network and used them as high end alternatives to our usual vocal mics. They performed flawlessly and delivered exceptional sound that was much appreciated by the artists and the sound crew. Their ability to filter out unwanted noise meant that we could safely use them for singers who were performing in front of an orchestra without the risk of their vocals being drowned out."
One of the artists who used DPA’s d:facto Vocal Microphone was Kris Kristofferson who performed at the Royal Festival Hall shortly after the Jazz Festival.
"We had hung onto the microphones because we liked them so much and wanted to use them for Kris’s concert," Nowell says. "Kris is interested in sound and is always open to trying something new. He really liked the structure and tonal quality of the d:facto and was very happy with the results it delivered."
DPA’s new d:facto II Vocal microphone offers natural sound, high separation and SPL handling. In addition to use with the new wired DPA handle, the d:facto provides singers and engineers with a state-of-the-art adapter system that allows for integration with many professional wireless systems including Sony, Lectrosonics, Shure, Wisycom and Sennheiser.
RNSS will be taking delivery of its new DPA d:facto Vocal Microphones in a few weeks time and is already anticipating plenty of interest.
"We have decided to buy six of the new d:facto II microphones so that we can use them with our existing wireless systems,” Richard Nowell adds. ”We see huge potential for these microphones as rental items because they are so versatile. The adapter system will give our customers plenty of options as they can either use a wired DPA handle or the professional wireless system of their choosing, with no loss in the sound quality."
