As part of its continual effort to provide the highest quality
equipment available to its clients, broadcast sales and rental company
Talamas Broadcast has added more DPA Microphones gear to its equipment
arsenal. It recently purchased 26 DPA d:fineT headset microphones, 35
d:voteT 4099 instrument microphones and several 4000 Series miniature
microphones.

As one of the top 10 wireless microphone suppliers in the U.S., Talamas
Broadcast has long been a provider of DPA Microphones, stocking the
company’s 4061 previous model headset microphones. With the additions of the
d:fine, d:vote and 4000 Series microphones, the company will be able to
provide even more DPA mic demos to potential customers.

“DPA makes the one of the best-sounding microphones on the planet,” says
Dave Talamas, president of Talamas Broadcast. “With this recent purchase, I
bought more than I usually would. I felt I had to take advantage of the
opportunity to supply my customers with the latest microphone technology.”

Named for their accurate audio definition and natural sonic characteristics,
the d:fine series of headset microphones boast consistent audio performance
at all sound-pressure levels-from a whisper to a shout-and also feature
impressive gain before feedback and stable construction. In a broadcast
world that is relying less on studio-bound and traditional filmed
programming, the d:fine headset microphones provide worry-free performance
in the most exacting situations. The d:fine series mics are available in
omnidirectional and directional versions, and include a long and short mic
boom mounted on either a single-ear mount or a dual-ear mount.

DPA’s d:vote range of instrument microphones are perfect for live
performance and broadcast settings that require high-quality mics that are
discrete and effortless to change. Building on the success of the highly
acclaimed 4099 instrument clip mic series, d:vote has an enhanced shock
mount to provide even better absorption. Additionally, the new d:vote
instrument microphones now feature a detachable cable available in heavy
duty 2.2 mm (0.087 in) and 1.55 mm (0.061 in) diameter versions. Further
flexibility is available through an extension unit for the gooseneck
supplied with the mic, which lengthens its neck by 50 percent.

“DPA Microphones is happy to work with Dave Talamas on his latest venture,”
says Eric Mayer, vice president of DPA Microphones’ U.S. office. “We look
forward to working with him and wish him much success.”
