"We have between 10 and 15 DPA microphones permanently in the venue and we will be hiring in more when larger ensembles are playing," says Doky, who is musical director of the new venue. "When our stage was completed in September, we conducted a series of rehearsals and tests on site with the DPA team to determine exactly which microphones we needed. The list, which is exclusively DPA, includes various d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphones and a selection of d:dicate 4011 and 4006 Recording Microphones."
As The Standard features vocalists as well as instrumentalists, Doky and his team have also invested in a new DPA d:facto Vocal Microphone that will be made available to every singer performing at the club.
"We are very excited about this microphone, which is the perfect microphone for us," continues Doky. "Our highly experienced house sound engineer, Jonas Nakel, tried it and was very impressed because it has the trademark qualities of DPA, coupled with the specific needs of a vocal mic."
