His views were reinforced by sound engineer Andrea Pellegrini, who recently started working with the band. A self-proclaimed fan of DPA microphones, Pellegrini says: “I’ve loved
d:facto™ mics from the very beginning because they’re transparent and extremely detailed. There’s a lack of proximity effect, they’re not aggressive on high frequencies, and they give me the possibility of EQ-ing in a very quick and precise way.”
Brit Floyd guitarist, vocalist and Musical Director Damian Darlington adds: “The
d:vote™ CORE 4099 Instrument Microphone noticeably improved our sax sound, both through the PA and also through the on stage IEMs. When Vincent Gabriel Antonini kindly loaned us a
d:facto™ to try out, we also noticed an instant improvement to our vocal sound. Gareth had previously been complaining about issues to do with high frequency response on the vocal mic that I was using and also a proximity effect problem with the mic used by Ian Cattel (bass and vocals). Now, with d:facto™, the full band width of frequencies and increased detail can be heard, particularly when we are using in ear monitoring. This helps improve our vocal performances.”
