Greg Cargopoulos from Melody House, is familiar with DPA microphones from his own experience of working with them. "We are very happy to be the newly-appointed regional distributors of DPA microphones," he says. "I have been working as a sound engineer for many years, often on corporate events where there are several headband and lavalier microphones on stage at one time, and DPA mics have been a life-saver in many situations.
"The thing I like about these microphones is how the frequency response is so neutral. The design is always to be as neutral as possible, rather than have a coloured frequency response. This, coupled with a flat-response loudspeaker system, is the way to get maximum gain-before-feedback, as it gives the engineer maximum control."
Melody House is now concentrating on raising the profile of DPA in Dubai, and can already offer a substantial stock of demo mics for all applications to their customers. The company wlll also be dealing with DPA customers across the UAE.
"Melody House will be a really good partner for us in Dubai as they have a well established network," says DPA's regional sales manager, Michael Trolle. "In addition, as they are soon opening a retail shop, this is an opportunity for us to grow our instrument mic market, together with Melody House. The other high end brands that they represent are a very good match with DPA."
