DPA Microphones For StudioXperience

DPA Microphones has announced its d:fine Directional Headset Microphones are being used by Waskul TV for the 2015 NAB Show StudioXperience Broadcast Studio interviews taking place throughout the event (Booth SU621).

Chosen for their small-scale size and pristine sound, the d:fines have already been utilised by Hewlett Packard, Intel and Canon, among others.

Waskul TV, a broadcast network for the technology industry, and its StudioXperience is providing audiences with access to the latest technologies through both its Technology Showcase and live Broad
cast Studio. Hosted by Steve Waskul, CEO of Waskul Entertainment, viewers watch live in the Broadcast Studio and online as he is joined on stage by an an selection of guests. With its growing audience and increasing presence at the top technology conventions, Waskul and his team knew they needed a headset microphone that would provide the audio benefits and visual effects they desired.

"We go to a lot of the major technology shows, where we produce long-format (20 mins) interviews with thought leaders and luminaries – from visual effects and computer technology pioneers, to people who just do amazingly creative things," explains Waskul. "These are people to whom you typically don't have access, so we want our live broadcasts and recordings to be amazing. Everything we're doing is state-of-the-art, and we need to be sure to present that in the best way possible. We've had great success accomplishing this with DPA Microphones."

Having previously used a competitor headset microphone for the Waskul TV interviews, the company recently made the switch to DPA ahead of the NAB Show. "Our original headsets didn't look great on camera, so the initial factor that drew us to the DPAs was the appearance," continues Waskul. "We also wanted some thing that's going to sound great but will also stay in place and is easy to use – quickly, because we have minimal time to prep our interviewees. The DPA headsets are the perfect solution."

Purchased on recommendation from Waskul TV audio crew members, the directional quality of the DPA d:fines that the company is using are ideal for noisy environments like a tradeshow floor. "Our team has used DPA mics at other venues and events, and they believe in the technology and like DPA better than anything else on the market," says Waskul. "They like their natural sound as well as the physical qualities – quick and simple application, no movement once on the speakers – and the overall aesthetic look of the mics."
