INSPIRE Church (inspirechurch.tv), based out of Waikele, Hawaii, recently had the opportunity to ‘test drive’ three different DPA Microphones, the d:screet™ Necklace Microphone, the d:fine™ Directional Headset Microphone and the d:vote™ Instrument Microphone.
By Greg Fritz, Technologies for Worship Magazine.
All in all, everyone involved fell in love with the ease of use, the comfort, and most of all the unspoiled replication and transparency of the original signal that the DPA Microphone’s had to offer. The only argument from the average church might be the financial outlay. DPA Microphone’s are definitely on the higher end of the price range and many organizations may not have the money to invest, or the sound system to really hear, the clarity these mics offer. This is Greg report not to say that the value of the microphones is not set properly; anyone seeking to invest in upgrades to their systems will definitely see positive results. With history of quality going back 20 years, a two or five year warranty (depending on type of capsule) and a world-wide network available to service this warranty, any equipment failure concerns should be minimized. At the end of the day, any of the products that we tested would be a great solution for sound reinforcement at any house of worship.
