What gear do you
actually use?

Start from the form factor. Every DPA capsule shares the same core — the difference is how it disappears into your craft.

The N-Series.
Wireless, finally
worthy of the capsule.

A digital wireless platform built around the microphones it carries — wide tuning, encrypted audio and the same uncoloured DPA sound from capsule to receiver. The link stops being the weak point.

DPA Journeys · Film

The next Journeys
is a portrait

Three episodes in — a film-score mixer, an arctic field recordist, an immersive producer. None of them set in a theatre, where the 4061 has been the body mic on Broadway for more than twenty years. The next one could be the person who owns the silence in a musical.
