DPA SMK 4081 Stereo Mic Kit
Full disclosure: I’ve yet to hear a DPA mic that doesn’t sound great. OK, there. I’ve said it. Now we can get on with the review. A few weeks ago, DPA sent me a box full of mics. And there are few things that make me as happy as getting a box of mics. The [...]
DPA 4098HB Hanging Choir Mics: First Impressions
When I talked with Bruce Meyers of DPA back in January at NAMM, he showed me a new hanging choir mic they were working on. I was interested immediately, though my application was not a choir. I have been on the lookout for a couple good audience mics for our IEM system, as well as [...]

We had two different models, the standard DA-12 and a shorter-boomed child’s version. Normally we use the Countryman e6 for earset [...]

Going to NAMM?
One thing that is kinda cool about living in rough proximity to LA is the preponderance of trade shows that are within driving distance. For years it seems, people have been asking me, “Are you going to NAMM?” I’ve always answered, “No,” because it’s on the other side of the country. Well, now I’m also [...]
Rechargeable Battery Update
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about rechargeable batteries. Mainly because there was no new news with the Ansmann brand we had been using, and I wanted to try out the new ones for a while before giving an update. Thankfully, the wait was worth it, and this is good news. When Upper Room [...]
