DPA Microphones Takes the Stage for the First Time at USITT 2016

	DPA d:screet Necklace Microphone

DPA Microphones will be debuting its line of d:screet Miniature Microphones at this year's United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) convention in booth 1501. On display at the company's booth will be the d:screet 4061, d:screet Slim Microphone and d:screet Necklace Microphone.

"We are excited to debut our line of d:screet Miniature Microphones at this year's USITT convention," says James Capparelle, marketing manager, USA, for DPA Microphones. "Miking talent in a fast-paced theatre production can be an extremely delicate process. At DPA, we offer easy-to-use and easy-to-conceal high quality condenser microphones, providing sound designers on Broadway and productions alike the best tools possible to get the job done."

DPA's d:screet 4061 Miniature Microphones are well-known and are used in theatres around the world. In situations where the talent requires flexibility of movement or when mics need to be cleverly concealed, the company says the d:screet 4061 mics are "incredibly popular." The d:screet 4061s offer clear, transparent, and natural sound with very low noise and extremely high sensitivity. These mics are capable of handling up to 154dB peak before clipping and have a linear response, low distortion, and large dynamic range.

Developed in response to a growing need -- particularly from the film/theatre industry -- for a near-invisible bodyworn microphone, the d:screet Slim features the company's omnidirectional capsule (either the d:screet 4060 with high sensitivity or the d:screet 4061 with standard sensitivity) in a flat head, a slender cable and an exciting new button-hole mount accessory. The new button-hole mount provides a 90-degree sound input angle, allowing the cable to lay flat against a surface rather than sticking out. It is also designed to fit into spaces as small as two millimeters and, when used with available accessories, can become virtually invisible.

The d:screet Necklace Microphone is tailor-made for the quick costume changes and transitional movements of live theatre. It can be mounted and removed quickly without the need of a sound expert and is especially useful for instances when on-and-off mounting and consistent audio output are primary concerns. Featuring DPA's legendary d:screet 4061 Omnidirectional Miniature Capsule in a soft rubber necklace, the d:screet Necklace mic is available in black, white and brown and in lengths of either 18.3" or 20.9".
