DPA's Podium Microphone range consist of the d:screet Miniature Podium Microphone, which provides the installation market with an elegant, directional microphone based on the company's renowned miniature microphones.
"We were contacted by an organization that had simultaneous interpreters refusing to use their existing microphones because the audio quality was so bad," says DPA Microphones' CEO Christian Poulsen. "Simultaneous interpreting is a hard job, and if the audio is poor, it gets even tougher. We knew we had the right capsule technology to take their existing solution to a new level - we just had to develop the microphone solution for that purpose. When testing against three or four times more expensive competitive podium microphones, our shotgun solution was clearly better. We are proud to set the new standard of podium microphones securing high speech intelligibility."
The miniature capsule is mounted on a delicate gooseneck and comes in several lengths for table mounting. It can even be used in a wireless configuration by employing the company's ingenious adapter range, which is already used for other miniature microphones.
DPA's Podium range also includes the d:dicate Podium Microphones, which incorporate modular capsules from the company's d:dicate Recording Microphones - acclaimed for their exceptional linear frequency responses, high SPL and superior gain before feedback. By combining state-of-the-art capsules with modular active booms and floor stands, DPA customers can access the precise high-quality microphone for their needs.
The company is also showing its d:facto Vocal Microphone, an exceptional handheld vocal mic that offers true studio sound in live surroundings. Due to the modularity of the two ranges, the d:dicate capsules can easily be mounted on the d:facto handle or dedicated adapters, that permit it to be used on various professional wireless systems.
DPA will complete the ISE line-up with its full range of body worn microphones consisting of the d:screet Miniature Microphones that are primarily used as lavaliers and the d:fine Headset Microphones, both internationally acclaimed for their superior sound quality and durability.
