Title: UGLY enugh for DPA?
Post by: restevezes on August 22, 2009, 02:51:52 PM

Hi there,

Quick question as search provides nothing relevant
does the CA-UGLY deliver enough power for some DPA4061?

Thanks

Yes all current Church Audio preamps work great with the DPA 4060 series (given compatible connectors).

I would get the larger ST-9100 instead however. The fact that you have to adjust the UGLY's levels individually with a small screwdriver makes it a huge pain in the ass in my opinion. I love the ST-9100 and don't have much use for the UGLY. It would be good for acoustic, though, because you could just set it at max gain before entering the venue and leave it there.

Yes the ugly will properly power your dpa mics. The ugly has an advantage in my opinion over the 9100 because if your dpa mics are not perfectly matched you can set the left and right levels precisely I recommend setting the ugly to max level for most things and for really loud shows set it to 80% and that should be fine most adjustments for level should be made on the recording device.

Thanks, Chris! I never read that recommendation before. Finally I know how to make use of my UGLY that's been sitting around unused.
