today I drove to the DPA-wholesaler for AUSTRIA in vienna.
well....there IS something coming...mini cardioid, BUT when or what is still not decided.
he said, DPA and SCHOEPS are the only companies in his opinion, which are capable of building excellent mini cardioids. they had lots of headset-DPA cardioids there which are about the same size as the 406x series.
he told me, IF I want some DPA mics or DPA related amplifiers(ie. MMA6000) I should just give them a call and they could order it directly from denmark within 2 days and the give me best-price guarantee!
problem is: my dpa 4061´s terminate into a single 3.5mm jack and for using them with the mma6000 preamp the remodification would cost 57 euro x 2mics =>114 euros.
well new mics cost 600 euros
.
the mma6000 would cost 400 euros with 2 microdot jacks(standard).
anyway, cool to know that DPA-guys and technicians are just 15 minutes from my home
.
he told me a friend of him used the edirol r-09 plugin-power and the dpa 4063 which is for low voltage (3V) and it sounds great.
