HI folks.

Have any of you used the D:vice successfully with an adapter that allows you to connect both the D:vice and a set of non-Apple earbuds to your iPhone?

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 8 Plus, so of course lost the traditional 1/8" jack. :( I picked up a Belkin adapter that plugs into the Lightning port on the phone and provides female 1/8" and Lightning connections, thinking this would let me monitor through earbuds when setting up the D:vice. but when I use it in conjunction with the D:vice, the D:vice app cannot find the D:vice. It defaults to thinking I want to use the phone's internal mic.

Plugging the D:vice into the phone directly causes it to be recognized again.

I'm more than a little pissed, given the price of this tiny Belkin accessory.

Do I need to try bluetooth earbuds next?

Will the D:vice still use the D:vice, even if said earbuds contain a microphone?

I think the Belkin cable is for analog out to a headset via a 1/8 and power input to the phone via lightning. the lightning connector cant be used for data input. This sounds consistent with what you found. I have not seen any equivalent which does pass data. Bluetooth may be the only way to what you want, although I havent actually tried something like that

I think as long as you plug the d:vice in last after the headphones are going so the d:vice is the last thing to be connected

Here's a big band jazz show I recorded last week. A little EQ and compression, but mostly glorious 24/48. 4060's, D:vice, iPhone 8+.

Does anybody else feel that a switchable -10dB pad would be a useful addition to the D:vice app? I do, mostly because I use it with a pair of 4060's, so I'm worried about very loud sources. (occasional metal shows)

Perhaps if we write short reviews of the app and request this... :)

Personally, I would prefer a pad rather than a limiter.

Yes I have to same question and use the d:vice with 4060's on iOS. Is there a solution available to record loud sources?  I have the levels on the DPA app at +0.0 dB. With the iOS apps I have used I can't reduce volume: RØDE app, MetaRecorder, MOTIV.

I just filed a bug report with DPA through their Facebook page. A guy named Steve seems to respond to things there in a day or two.

Anyway, after installing iOS 11.3 public beta 2, I can't get more than one mic to show up in the D:vice app. Or rather, the last time I used the app and things worked, I only had one 4060 connected. Now, with the latest public beta, I can't attach the second mic and change to stereo, sum, etc. That's what I get for enrolling my primary device in a beta program I suppose.

Related: I discovered this last night, on the way to catching the excelent Canadian band Big Wreck. It would have turned out perfect, too, I was dead center, in a hall with nice dry acoustics. FUUUUCK! Is there a Murphy's Law of taping? No matter how simple the rig, something will fuck up?

Always, always, always, check your gear before leaving home. I should know this, but have been tought this lesson yet again. LOL

Has anyone tried the D:vice and a couple of mics into their Windows 10 PC? I gather the D:vice is a class compliant audio device, so it should just work when you plug it in.

I have a Windows 7 setup, the d:vice worked fine with that using Audacity as the recording program.   I will be getting a portable Windows 10 setup (Ockel Sirius A) in a few weeks, and intend to test that out. 

Glad I have resisted going from IoS 10 to 11!  Let us know what happens!

As far as I know, things still work fine on the latest iOS 11 release, 11.2.5 I believe? It's the latest 11.3 public beta where there's an issue, at least with my iPhone.

11.2.5 works fine. This is why I stopped being involved in the public beta program. When the iOS 10 beta was issued, I had nothing but problems with apps so I only update to official releases nowadays.

Anyone seen this on sale / cheaper than the $660 or so it seems to be anywhere?

Definitely planning to sell some other gear and take the plunge.

Unfortunately DPA stuff is pretty much sold at the SRP and that's about it.  I was shocked when you mentioned US$660 as it was going for around US$630 not long ago.  You might be able to find one on eBay as they show up from time to time but it's a really niche product.  Might be worth emailing some of the smaller companies to see if they can do any better on the price since it's pretty much advertised at the SRP.

Best of luck.  It's a nifty little box.

Has anybody tried this new four-way clip from DPA for the 4060/61's? Sounds like just the thing for tapers!

I've not, but it looks like a standard lavalier clip.  Pretty much the same as what one finds with Countryman B3.  Could be useful for clipping to the outside of clothing, a hat brim, maybe glasses.  Not designed for use use under clothing like the DPA concealers are, and also how the boundary mounts can be used (as an "off-label" application).

I used these the other night and really liked them. Mics are very secure, and well positioned by the clips.

Used the d:vice for the first time on Tuesday, it's pretty freaking great.
