Thanks so much for sharing the tip on a great video! 😃👍

You're most welcome! :-)

Thanks! All of our headsets 'grab' both ears. 😎 www.dpamicrophones.com/headset-and-earset-microphones

We do not have a specific recommendation for a deadcat for the 4560. This is because it would be stuffed in your ears. You could cover your ears with a similar material, but it will have influence on the sound.

@@DPAmicrophones Would a product like Soundman Windscreen (its like a ear muff) help to mitigate the wind noise? Based on the your experience with the DPA 4560, would I face any potential issues?

If there is little to no background noise, an omni mic should be fine.

If the fan noise is significant, a direction mic would be a good solution: www.dpamicrophones.com/headset/4088-directional-headset-microphone

@@DPAmicrophones thank you for the reply. We talked with our sound tech and bought the 6066. Hopefully, we made a right choice.

Also a great headset mic. However, it is an omni mic so it will pick up more of the surrounding sounds. But depending on the distance to the fan, it may work out just fine. If you can, try it out and if there is too much ambient sound, consider asking the dealer to exchange it for a 4088 or a 4488: www.dpamicrophones.com/headset/4488-core-directional-headset-microphones

Have you had a look at the 2028 Handheld Microphone? www.dpamicrophones.com/handheld/2028-vocal-mic?productId=4055&combinations=63:2239&wirelesssystem=&exeptionCategoryId=0&accessories=&wiredorwireless=&idList=4060

If you're in a noisy environment, which a stage with live music often is, we'd recommend a directional headset such as 4488: www.dpamicrophones.com/headset/4488-core-directional-headset-microphones

In that scenario - no bleed from other sound sources - we would recommend that you try our 4466 omni headset with CORE preamp technology and the new super-flexible and comfortable mounting system: www.dpamicrophones.com/headset/4466-core-omnidirectional-headset-microphone

@ytonaona In general terms an omni mic will give you the best audio. It is the poler pattern that will provide the most flat and uniform response across all frequencies. That combined with beeing the absolute best placement to capture the voice, an omni headset will be the best choice if you do not have other challenges to worry about. The great thing about the placement is that you are very close to the sound source, so other sound sources are relatively quiet compared to the main signal. That beeing said, there can be plenty of reasons where an directional headset is the best choice. A directional will give you even more difference in main signal (the voice) and all the other sounds in the scene. So the question is always, is the proximity enough to mute other sound sources or do you need that extra isolation of a directional mic at the cost of some clarity in the signal. Pros & cons.

@@DPAmicrophones Thank you very much. I'll soon participate in a spectacle for children. It's a hybrid spectacle : storytelling + music. On stage there will be a full band and me the storyteller. Most of the time when I speak they don't play full power and vice versa. But there are many times where they do play when I speak, for sound effects/background soundscape and also when we fade in/fade out respectively. So that when they are finishing and fading out their song I already start speaking. And when my part of text is about to end, they already fade in the next song. They have drums, keyboards, bass, saxophone. Plus some voice mics. There are "returns" (or however you call the speakers to hear yourself. I'm a beginner in all of that) on stage for each of us. With everything you said and I've read, it seems a directional (cardioid) headset mic would be the best for me ? In summary, it's a live performance, there are instruments everywhere, my voice needs to be isolated and clear from the rest, children in the public may laugh, scream, talk etc, and I'm moving on stage. What do you think? I only see two cons: - As a storyteller I would have liked the whole spectrum of my voice to be heard. - I'm moving on stage and I read somewhere that in that case an omni is easier to set up in the mix, because it anyway receives sound from everywhere. While a directional is , well, very directional and since I'm moving I might get different input at different times depending on where I'm located. Example: it could be that the back (dead) end of my directional mic (facing outwards) is cutting out a guitar next to me (as it should), but when I move on stage, it could be that the opening side of my mic is pointing right at the guitar and at my mouth (guitar being on the same direction). What are your thoughts ?

@@ytonaona Sounds like you would benefit from directional headset in that use case. If you choose to use a DPA directional headset such as the 4488 you will absolutely hear the full spectrum of your voice (:

@@DPAmicrophones Thank you very much for your kind help. And once again, the video is amazing. 🙏

You obviously need a speaker/PA system, and if you do not want to be restrained by a cord, a wireless transmitter/receiver system is also recommended.

Hello, You are right. If it is a noisy environment, a directional will give you are more clean signal. This could be for instance our 4488 - www.dpamicrophones.com/headset/4488-core-directional-headset-microphones But with a omni you will get an overall better signal. Since the headset will be placed so close to the sound source (your mouth), there is a natural dampening of the audience background. But it really depends on how loud the audience is at the microphone. Check out the 6066 www.dpamicrophones.com/headset/6066-subminiature-headset-microphone Or the 4466 www.dpamicrophones.com/headset/4466-core-omnidirectional-headset-microphone Does this help? Kind regards DPA Microphones

​@@DPAmicrophonesthat was clear and pleasent, thank you! I like to play around, open air, streets, squares, gardens... guitar and vocals. Currently using an economic headset, needing an upgrade. Three questions: About phantom? Is it needed using PA ampli like Roland Cube or Bose S1pro+? Omnidirectional could cause some issues like larsen, while standing close to the ampli? And I didn't get what model are the most stable in active performances, I recently discovered acro-yoga and enjoying singing upsidedown 🙃

Hi Adam. They all sounds great. With the mounts on 4466 and 4488 the mic position will stay fixed. The difference between the two models is that 4466 is an omni and 4488 is directional. If you pay on a stage with loud monitors and drums on the stage, we'd recommend the directional 4488 to minimise bleed from other sound sources.

Any of our miniature or subminiature headset or lav mics would be great. But you'd need our MMA-A audio interface for the iPhone as well to connect.

We have this 3.5 mm TRS locking adapter for SOny, but I am not sure if it is compatible with the UWP-D27 bodypack.

www.dpamicrophones.com/accessories/adapter-for-sony-freedom-wrt-805-x

what is the adapter's name? @@DPAmicrophones

The item number is DAD6019.

We have our MMA-A which could be a solution. It connects both to iPhone and laptop. www.dpamicrophones.com/accessories/mma-a-digital-audio-interface

Hi me too need one for preaching where can we get one

Please find your country and a list of local dealers here: www.dpamicrophones.com/where-to-buy

Hi. Sory you feel that way, but the video is all about choosing the right type of headset in various situations. It was not meant as a tutorial on how to set up and connect the headsets in detail.
