Jay Baumgardner at NRG Studios mixed the production. I’m sold on DPA Microphones for sure,” he added. We also recorded our Saturday night performance and, when we played it back in the studio, we were surprised by how little background noise got picked up. The mics were very present in the mix and have great tone.
Having selected DPA on Moody’s recommendation, Oriti says there is a “spectacular difference in quality” from his previous headsets to which he had been loyal to for years. “We had zero problems with frequencies and nothing but a clear signal.” “The mics and the transmitters worked amazingly together,” says Oriti. In order to use the microphones in a wireless arrangement, the duo chose Lectrosonics transmitters. “We noticed that the DPA mics did not distort like the handheld brand we used previously and the flat frequency response proved to work much better.” Though the production team used a competitor handheld microphone for the four singers who portrayed Pontius Pilate and the Pharisees, they are considering making a change to their equipment on the road. “It would be foolish to try out a different product when we just had a successful experience with all 16 singers on stage,” adds Oriti. With plans to take the show on the road in Manila, Philippines, Oriti and Moody are already aiming to add DPA to their tour rider. Many audience members believed we were running playback harmonies, but it was all live.” “I expected problems, but DPA’s d:fine™ Headsets provided 12 channels of pristine lead and background vocals. “Our FOH engineer Dennis Moody had a great mix for our preview show at El Portal, which is a live room,” Oriti explains. Oriti had already started to note the benefits of the DPA headsets before the curtains opened. In order to best address the breadth of sound that comes with combining opera and rock music, Oriti selected DPA Microphones’ d:fine™ Flex Directional Directional Headset Microphones for all of his vocalists. It also featured a six-piece live, progressive rock band and 16 accompanying singers and dancers.
