DPA Microphones Launches New Microphone Base

DPA Microphones has launched the new Microphone Base, a stand for its d:screet SC4098 Podium Microphone.

Designed to be placed on a table or podium, or attached to the ceiling or the wall, the Microphone Base is available in two colours, black and white, and comes with either a MicroDot connector, an XLR connector, or unterminated leads for connections to Phoenix blocks.

The d:screet capsule is mounted on a boom that, for the tabletop version, has a gooseneck at the top and the bottom, so users can position the mic where they want it. The ceiling version consists of one gooseneck. In both versions, the cable can exit either to the side or beneath the unit.

DPA has assembled various kits containing a different connector solution in response to the different needs of installers. For tabletop applications there are three kits consisting of a black base and a d:screet SC4098 with a 45cm (18in) gooseneck, while for ceiling applications there are three kits consisting of a white base and a d:screet SC4098 with a 15cm (6in) gooseneck. Customers can also purchase the microphone and microphone base separately to mix and match connectors, base colors and gooseneck lengths.

René Mørch, Product Manager, DPA Microphones, said: “When it comes to choosing audio equipment, there are many conference venues where a pleasing aesthetic is just as important as sound quality. A company with a beautiful, antique boardroom table, for example, isn't going to relish the thought of drilling a hole in it so they can attach a microphone. These elegant microphone solutions will add to a stylish meeting room, no matter if it has only one or several of the tabletop microphone solutions. Likewise, a venue where conferences are frequently videoed or broadcast might not want table-mounted microphones at all – they will be much happier with our ceiling base because it keeps the microphone out of view without compromising sound quality."

DPA's new Microphone Base will start shipping at the end of December 2016.
