I am wondering if these mics are suceptable to long cables. I tried to use a pair for the first time in a Cathedral yesterday for a Choral recording but they were unusable because of hum and other noise.

A pair of DPA4006 and a Neumann SM 69 were fine on the same cables.

Hi!

I have a pair of DPA 4003 that I enjoy for orch mains, and I also have some experience with 4006's. Anyhow- there is a pair of 4007s that I could procure. According to the DPA site, they seem to be like 4006's but able to handle higher SPLs. Does anyone here have any deeper experience with the 4007 as compared to the 4006? Differences in output level? Tone?

thanks!

I just bought a matched pair of DPA 4006-TLs with the acoustic pressure equalizers and grids (thanks to Mike at Vintage King Audio). My initial intention is to record a hand-made German 7'2" grand piano in a small live room. I just received the set and havn't started experimenting (will start this weekend).

hi guys,

DPA 4061 microphones for live vocals. I am considering buying one. I would be interested to know in your experience the best set-up to treat my voice with echo, compressors, mic preamp, reverb, limiters, etc. I would also be interested to hear from Westend show sound designers who use this mike, too. The music is Progressive Rock which is sometimes loud sometimes not.

Curious if anyone here has tried the DD0254 trapezoidal near-field grid on 4003 or 4006? I would like to hear your subjective reactions.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has heard the demo CD for this mic.

I don't know what they were thinking with the shoot-outs between different mics.

The vocal shoot-out convinced me I wanted a U87.

The guitar section shows how wonderful the Sennhieser MKH series is.

I've been considering the dpa4060 as a very discreet all-purpose omni. Would it be suitable for more distant micing? I've heard some great recordings where it was used in a binaural system, but in each case the sound source was quite loud, so the SN ratio didn't really matter.

Thanks
John

Okay, these two mics are essentially identical with the exception of the senitivity. Given their relatively high noise floor, I would think that, for stringed instruments the high sens (4060) would be the better choice. I've had a lot of experience with the 4061, but none with the 4060.

Anybody?

I'm looking to rent some DPA or Schoeps mics and I'm in the toronto area. Not really sure where to go...if anyone has any idea where to rent them (or even just to buy them) please let me know!
