“We experimented with the DPA mics as part of Gabriel’s visit and he also collaborated on some placement discussions,” says Rokosa. “Our overall takeaway was how impressed we were with the
d:dicate™ 4007 microphone. In the locations where we placed them, they had to contend with SPL’s in excess of 160 decibels (dB). They not only survived where other mics have failed, but they delivered a very clean representation of the natural sound.”
Rokosa has been very happy with DPA mics in the short time he has been using them. “Sound is what conveys the awesome power of these cars and we are trying to provide the fans at home with as much of the aural experience of the live event as possible,” adds Rokosa. “The deep rumbling of the engines and the sudden explosion are difficult to capture without destroying the device and the
d:dicate™ 4007 mics seem to be able to survive in this environment.”
