The d:facto
™ Vocal Microphone joined a range of DPA mics that were used over the summer for the NERO A META' tour, which reunited Daniele with band members from the 1980s alongside special guests. For his forthcoming theatre tour, the line-up is more intimate and includes Pino Daniele on vocals and acoustic guitar, a second acoustic guitar, an upright bass, piano and drums played by internationally acclaimed producer and arranger Alfredo Golino, who regularly works with artists such as Laura Pausini.
Facioni says: "The decision to use DPA microphones initially came about when I needed a microphone for Pino’s acoustic guitar. I spoke to Agora, our PA rental company, and they recommended DPA's
d:vote™ 4099 Instrument Microphones. After trying one, I knew it was perfect for the task. Both Pino and I were so impressed that we decided to use d:vote
™ 4099s on his guitar and on the second acoustic guitar."
Facioni adds that the improvement in sound made him question the microphones he was using on the other instruments in Daniele's intimate line-up. It was at this point that Alfredo Golino suggested he got in touch with Salvatore Zocco from DPA's Italian distributor M. Casale Bauer for more advice on the DPA range.
Salvatore Zocco says: "Alfredo is a great ambassador for DPA and has used the company's microphones for a long time, so it was perfectly natural for him to put Fabrizio in touch with me. I was able to recommend the most appropriate microphones for Fabrizio's requirements."
