Description
d:vice 2-Channel Mobile Audio Interface for iOS, Mac Windows
The d:vice from DPA Microphones is a mobile A/D audio interface developed for content makers who need to capture high-fidelity audio with their smartphones or tablets, when on the go. The thin, portable design lets you discreetly wear the unit in your pocket, ideal when recording interviews, music or ambience for video, live broadcast, social media, and more.
The d:vice features two high-quality microphone preamps with MicroDot connectors, which both provide phantom power to the company's lavaliers, shotguns and modular mic capsules, as well as to third-party mics equipped with MicroDot cables.
The free DPA App allows you to set parameters before using the d:vice with a third-party app such as Skype, Facebook Live, and others. Choose between mono, dual-mono or stereo output modes, and independently control the level of each mic. The App also lets you store four presets, allowing for quick setup to suit specific tasks.
The unit connects to all iOS devices using the Lightning connector or to Windows and Mac computers via the included USB Micro-B to USB Type-A cable.
d:screet 4060 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone with MicroDot Connector (Black)
The black d:screet 4060 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphone with MicroDot Connector from DPA is a miniature lavalier microphone designed for use in performance and theatrical applications. The 4060 lavalier features a condenser element with a frequency and sensitivity response that will accurately reproduce audio signals from the human voice and instruments. The capsule is designed with a double vent protection system and moisture resistant materials inside the capsule, which ensure maximum protection from humidity and moisture caused by perspiration, makeup, etc.
The 4060 includes interchangeable capsule protection grids that alter the signal character of the microphone. A High-Boost Grid creates a peak at 12 kHz, creating an airy texture to audio signals. The Soft-Boost Grid creates a subtle boost between 8-20 kHz, enhancing signal presence. With a SPL rating of 134 dB, the microphone is more than capable of reproducing transient (peaking) audio before clipping. The 4060 features a MicroDot output connector, compatible with various wireless microphone transmitters or power supplies with standard XLR outputs.
d:dicate MMC4018 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule
The MMC-4018 from DPA is a modular microphone capsule that has a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern with a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. It can be used in a broad range of broadcast/ENG/film long-distance miking applications for booming, dialogue, podiums, interviews, and more. In addition, it can be used as a spot or hanging mic for orchestra recordings too.
The capsule's supercardioid shape is frequency-independent, securing an identical sound color around the microphone. The usual rear lobe heard on most supercardioids is minimized on the 4018 capsule, which makes it much more isolated without the sudden frequency-dependent peaks and dips. Combine the MMC4018 with any of the pre-amps in the d:dicate modular series to fit your needs (sold separately).
