Las Vegas (May 14, 2012)—Recycled Percussion, the highest non-vocal finalists ever on America's Got Talent, perform six shows a week at the Tropicana Las Vegas Theater, with all the act’s stick work heard via Audix microphones.
 
Throughout the show, percussionists Justin Spencer and Ryan Vezina, DJ Todd Griffin and guitarist Matt Bowman proceed to use, misuse and abuse pretty much anything one can find at hardware stores, junk yards and landfills. Oh, and a chainsaw.
 
Nearly 60 Audix mics have been selected to sonically capture the show. "The Audix D6 and D4 crushed the sound of the other microphones we were using and trying," says Spencer; group founder and sound designer. "We have over 20 plastic barrels that we play. We need five dollar 22-gallon buckets from WalMart to sound like $2,000 kick drums, and Audix, with some plate reverb, is the choice for us."

In just a couple weeks, we should be receiving the first batch of dual ear versions of d:fine omni mics.  The dual ear d:fine directional version will likely be shipping by mid-june.  Also, the short omni boom versions of the d:fine should be available by end of June.

For those of you who already have a d:fine mic, or wish to purchase a current single ear version, you will be able to simply purchase a "dual ear mount" accessory which can convert the single ear to a dual ear in a couple of seconds.

If a mic is ordered in the dual ear version, it will come with the dual ear mount. Ordered as a single ear, it will come with the single ear mount.  Dual-to-single mount accessories will also be available. 

You should purchase the version of a d:fine that you will use the majority of the time. At any time, you can add the dual ear or single ear accessory.

You can have the d:fine headset any way you want it. The d:fine is the most versatile, comfortable, reliable, and best sounding headset available today.

Keep in mind that every part of the d:fine headsets are easily replaceable. Ear mounts, cable assemblies, and adapters can always be replaced -- affordably. A d:fine headset is a lifetime investment. It isn't to be thrown away if it's a little "bent out of shape."

For wireless use, know that wireless adapters are available for nearly every kind of wireless, and that hardwired versions are available for Sennheiser 1/8" mini type belt packs (Evolution series), Sennheiser 3 pin Lemo compatible belt packs, Shure TA4F compatible belt packs, and Lectrosonics TA5F compatible belt packs.

If you have a question, please feel free to call.  To take a look at our currently-stocked DPA d:fine microphones, click here.  And if you'd like to try one, please let us know.  We stock demo models so that you can hear the difference for yourself.
