Dave Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi all, Stumbled on this on YouTube - not my clip. Just curious about your thoughts on this clip using 2 DPA 4060 lavs as ambience gathering mics. Am I hearing slight phasing? How much reach can these sub-miniature mics get in order to produce useful recordings? Hope to experiment with a 4060 or 4061 as a plant mic. Thanks for your thoughts, as always :-) Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Been using them for years ... as ambience gatherers on this metro line and many others! As the clip demonstrates they sound great and at 20mV/Pa (akin to the Sennheiser MKH ranges, although not so super quiet) the 4060 has plenty of reach for most applications - including as ambient plants if needed (for which I've used them too). I really can't imagine anybody coming away disappointed from a DPA 4060 purchase. True, they're not cheap, but for what they are they are the best - and an investment for life (or at least until you eventually get careless enough to stick them somewhere REALLY stupid).

Constantin Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 And the phasing you can hear is a result of mic placement, not of the mic design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
