DPA Microphones Help Solve Royal Exchange Acoustic Problem
P

A c o m p a ny M L S A u d i o
turned to DPA's d:vote 4099
Instr ume nt Microphone s to
amplify a 10-piece orchestra
in a venue with 95% refl ective
surfaces.
Sound Engineer and MLS Audio
Founder Guy Morris said: "The
car manufacturer Bentley was
holding a private corporate event
at the Royal Exhange in London
and we were approached by event
organiser, Beyond Certainty, to
handle the audio.

The artists used DPA d:fine Headset
Microphones

"The original brief was for 'a few
singers and a band'. This became
'a few singers placed around the
room on podiums with a band at

one end' to the fi nal translation
of 'six opera and West End show
artists and a 10-piece orchestra.'"
Given the architecture of the
Royal Exchange this wasn't as
easy as it might seem. The roof
alone is 50m high, while the interior
has 95% reflective surfaces thanks
to ample use of glass, marble,
stone and tiles.
"The artists had already specified
that their preference was to
use headset microphones and
immediately chose single ear
versions of DPA's d:fine Headset
Microphones," Morris said.
"The orchestra, however, was
another issue because we had
10 instruments to amplify in a
space that was acoustically very
challenging. We also had very
limited set up time because the
Royal Exchange is open to the
public until 6pm and Bentley's
event was due to start at 7pm."
MLS Audio bought DPA's recently
introduced d:vote Classic 10
Touring Kit, which incorporates 10
d:vote microphones, adapters and
cables, as well as a selection of 25
clips for a variety of instruments.
"The mounts are made of a nonabrasive rubber material that every
musician was happy to use," he
says. "In fact, I got the feeling they
had used d:vote 4099 Instrument
Microphones before because they
were all able to place and fit the
mount themselves with hardly
any guidance from the sound

crew," he said.
Morris used the included XLR
connection, via DPA's microdot
connector, which allows for various
interfaces and wireless systems.
Apart from sound quality and
versatility, Morris says the other
advantage of using DPA d:vote's

was that the orchestra looked very
tidy on stage.
"The DPA d:vote microphones
were a true problem solver for our
challenging scenario and the all
important factor was a satisfied
end client," said Morris.
