Pino Daniele Turns To DPA Mics

News Image
Italian singer/songwriter Pino Daniele has selected a range of DPA mics, including the company's d:facto™ Vocal Microphone.

Fabrizio Facioni, Daniele's sound engineer, said: "I like its sound. It's so present and natural. "This microphone reproduces exactly what it is given in terms of the vocal, and that greatly simplifies my job."

The d:facto Vocal Microphone joined a range of DPA mics that were used over the summer for the NERO A METÀ tour, which reunited Daniele with band members from the 1980s, alongside special guests.

For a forthcoming theatre tour, the line-up includes Pino Daniele on vocals and acoustic guitar, a second acoustic guitar, an upright bass, piano and drums played by producer and arranger Alfredo Golino.

Mr Facioni says: "The decision to use DPA microphones initially came about when I needed a microphone for Pino's acoustic guitar. I spoke to Agora, our PA rental company, and they recommended DPA's d:vote™ 4099 Instrument Microphones. After trying one, I knew it was perfect for the task. Both Pino and I were so impressed that we decided to use d:vote 4099s on his guitar and on the second acoustic guitar."

Alfredo Golino had suggested he get in touch with Salvatore Zocco from DPA's Italian distributor M. Casale Bauer for more advice on the DPA range.

Salvatore Zocco says: "Alfredo is a great ambassador for DPA and has used the company's microphones for a long time, so it was perfectly natural for him to put Fabrizio in touch with me. I was able to recommend the most appropriate microphones for Fabrizio's requirements."

d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphones were selected for the high hat, snare (top and bottom) and toms. DPA d:dicate™ ST4011C and ST4015C Recording Microphones were chosen to handle overheads and percussion. The acoustic guitars and upright bass are also miked with d:vote 4099s, while Pino Daniele has two d:facto Vocal Microphones.

"I have been very satisfied with the results these microphones have delivered," Facioni adds. "These were exactly the mics I needed to give me a natural sound. I am a studio engineer as well, so I already knew DPA mics for piano and orchestra and I like them a lot. But this is the first time I have tried them for percussion and bass and I am definitely impressed."
