Jazz Legend Selects DPA Mics

News Image
Danish Jazz legend and acclaimed pianist Niels Lan Doky has selected DPA Microphones to equip his new venture: a jazz club in Copenhagen set up in collaboration with Claus Meyer, co-owner of the Michelin-starred noma restaurant.
Officially opened on October 3, new club The Standard's audio equipment list boasts between 10 and 15 DPA microphones permanently in the venue, with more to be hired for larger ensembles.
"When our stage was completed in September we conducted a series of rehearsals and tests on site with the DPA team to determine exactly which microphones we needed," said Niels.
"The list, which is exclusively DPA, includes various d:vote™ 4099 Instrument Microphones and a selection of d:dicate™ 4011 and 4006 Recording Microphones."
As The Standard features vocalists as well as instrumentalists, Doky and his team have also invested in a new DPA d:facto™ Vocal Microphone that will be made available to every singer performing at the club.
"We are very excited about this microphone, which is the perfect microphone for us," Doky says.
"Our highly experienced house sound engineer, Jonas Nakel, tried it and was very impressed because it has the trademark qualities of DPA, coupled with the specific needs of a vocal mic."
He continued: "We are aiming to capture the timeless values that define jazz and that the greatest artists in jazz have in common.
"What counts is the quality of the music performed, so we will be working with incoming artists to help them prepare and enhance their shows in order to go beyond themselves and reach new levels of artistry.
"We also have a great sounding room with top level equipment and this is a very important part of the equation because although we are creating a classic jazz atmosphere, we are also ensuring that the room's equipment and acoustics reflect professional recording studio standards so that we can give our audiences an exceptional sonic experience."
Doky adds that choosing DPA was an easy decision for him to make as he already owns a selection of DPA 4011 and 4021 microphones that he uses for all his concerts and recordings.
"I have never done a recording without a large selection of DPAs," he says. "They are the most transparent and precise microphones I know because what you put in is exactly what you get out at the other end of the chain. In the old days people didn't always appreciate this as they were used to hearing the transformed and sometimes aesthetically altered sound that many other microphones produced. However, in our increasingly technically sophisticated world, especially in the world of A/V production, it is very important to get as close as possible to a natural sound. I believe that was DPA's vision from the start and I am glad that they have stubbornly stuck to it."
