Patrick Wilcox Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Simple question here: do you prefer the DPA brand concealer (DMM0012) or the LMC Sound C Mount Vampire Clip for hiding 4063's. I'm interested in all of the obvious performance benchmarks, such as transmission of clothing noise.

studiomprd Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) simple answer: yes (and it depends)... come on, try them both, and make up your own mind... each of them are the "best", at the right times... Edited March 14, 2014 by studiomprd
S Harber Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 I use the 4071s and use the hard plastic concealers all the time. They work well. That LMC rig looks like a better designed RM11 which could be nice but I haven't used it with the 4071. I'm sure it would great in most situations. I'm going to buy some and try them out in our next expendables order. They are different tools and really have their trade offs. We have a sound trainee/utility who is noticing that we can use the same rig, same outfit on a different day and sometimes requires it different tools to work best. Go figure. Scott
Jon Gilbert Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 I have both, they both work wonderfully in the right environment.
Doug Beatty Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 One of my DPA 4061 got stepped on yesterday (don't ask) but luckily it was in the DMM0012 and it shielded the mic and didn't crack. I use mine w/ super stick it on well over half of my concealed set ups and it works well. On more than one occasion, I have had talent jar a TX loose during a scene and after I'm done crying I find that the mic hasn't come loose even though the SMQ is dangling. Clothing noise is inevitable on scenes with dynamic blocking, and I have yet to find a 100% wardrobe noise free solution for concealed mics. If I discover one though, I'm bottling it up, selling it and retiring.
Patrick Wilcox Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 Nice one. Thanks for the responses. I've got 4 DPA and 4 LMC en route.
Prahlad Strickland Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 Nice, how'd the LMC's work, have you been able to compare to the DPA conceilers? One little iggly I find with the DPA conceiler is it's not very flexible so kind of has to be fairly flat surface.
