head to the takoma park music festival on sunday 10/23 and practice recording some free stuff like dave chappell and the nighthawks.
Love the local angle of this Willie! Hey does anyone have any thoughts on if or when to use the caps that are provided with these lavalier clip-on mics? I get the windshield one but not the others like this.
like DPA 406x, the end caps (DPA calls them 'grids') modify the high frequency response
RTFM saves the day!
Your microphone is delivered with two slip-on caps of different lengths.
You may use these caps for high-note emphasis. Slip the cap on the
head of the microphone until it locks into place.
Please refer to the frequency diagrams in the appendix.
• Short slip-on cap: MZC2-1 Cat. no. 076612
• Long slip-on cap: MZC2-2 Cat. no. 076645 one of the graphs on pg 13:
none of those are really specific to your application, so you'll need to experiment a bit to find the sound you like.
most of the DPA 406x tapers use the more mild "soft boost' grid, or no grid at all (i dont have the response handy for the latter) @gutbucket would be a good person to ask
