DPA miniature mics contributed to the success of Jacky Cheung’s
Private Corner concert at the Jockey Auditorium of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
The DPA
4099S and
4099T supercardioid live instrument microphones and
4061 miniature omnidirectional microphones were adopted in the concert for trombone, trumpet, saxophones and grand piano.
Mike Wong, Cheung’s monitor engineer, needed the 4099s for their excellent focus on the instrument as well as isolation and rejection from adjacent musicians. “In this concert, we were striving for a natural and uncolored sound and therefore really appreciate the musical accuracy of the 4099s.”
Front-of-house engineer Daniel Kwan adds: “Besides the superior sound quality, we like DPA microphones for their mounting and positioning possibilities. The 4099 series has mounts and clips for a wide range of string, brass and woodwind instruments.”
“We appreciate DPA’s uncompromised attitude towards their products and the service provided. The local DPA distributor
DMT has done a good job supporting us, too,” says Kwan.
