DPA Microphones launches several new professional sound microphone kits. The new kits are designed to provide audio engineers with a selection of condenser mics for a range of purposes. The brand has created bundles of the brand's most popular solutions, including the DLK4000 Live Microphone Kit, DSK4001 Studio Microphone Kit, DRK4001 Ultimate Recording Kit and DLS4000 Location Sound Kit.
“We are excited to share these new solutions with our industry colleagues,” says Helga Volha Somava, Product Management Director, DPA Microphones. “We have listened to and taken notes from experienced sound engineers within multiple industries to correctly define which mics are most critical for each application. With the flexibility to easily upgrade the mics, tools and accessories, we aimed to provide audio professionals with the best starting point to reach their end goal.”
Offering a microphone and accessory selection for touring sound engineers, the DLK4000 Live Microphone Kit features 20 mics and capsules, along with accessories designed to enhance sound quality, clarity and consistency. Included in the kit are mics for lead and backup vocals as well as instrument mics for close-miking any live instrument. To further equip the entire live stage, the kit’s lineup features various pencil mics for spot-miking instrument groups or capturing ambient sounds. Accessories such as extension cables, mic clips, mounts and wind screens are included for set-up and breakdown for all instruments.
For those miking more in the studio than on the stage, the DSK4001 Studio Microphone Kit offers a solution for small home studios and large professional spaces alike. The brand’s condenser mics are designed for recording bands, vocals and anything in between. This medium-sized kit contains both instrument and vocal mics, as well as a wide variety of clips and holders to simplify setup when close-miking a single instrument or spot-miking an entire group.
The DRK4001 Ultimate Recording Kit features over two-dozen DPA condenser microphones and close to 100 functional accessories to mic any instrument. As DPA prioritizes versatility, the DRK4001 can additionally aid in live-stage recordings.
The DLS4000 Location Sound Microphone Kit features all the standard TV/film production solutions, along with cables, holders, concealers, adapters, clips and more. From shotguns for booming to micro-shotguns for discreet plant-miking and a range of lavaliers for close-miking, each microphone included in the kit has been specifically chosen based on input from professional sound engineers.
Previously introduced at NAMM 2023, the DDK4000 Drum Miking Kit is designed to deliver a clear and natural reproduction of the low-frequency, high SPL instrument. With consideration for durability the microphones have been tested for all types of music genres and instrument types, and to withstand the demands of life on the road.
Each of the new DPA Microphone Kits is now available for purchase. For more information, including pricing and a full listing of type and quantity of mics in each kit, visit www.dpamicrophones.com/kits.
