Recently, the team-work of DPA microphones and their Indian distribution partner, Ansata came
together and hosted a seminar-workshop in Trivandrum. The educative session gave local broadcast

broadcast and production engineers of different networks such as Asianet, Amrita TV, Janam TV, Jai
Hind TV and Mangalam TV in addition to a few live sound rental engineers from Melody Sound and
Aarabhi Recording Studio.
The interactive workshop by Bo Brinck, Global Sales Support Manager, DPA Microphones in unison with

microphone placement and positioning, frequency dependent radiation patterns for human speech,
transparency in the audio chain and the importance of linearity in the frequency response on and
off axis. Post the seminar, audience members also participated actively.
Dipanshu Mitra said, “Bo’s unparalleled expertise got the audience acquainted with precise nuances
of various microphones and their adaptations in various on-field scenarios. Also the live miking
examples using various DPA microphones explaining applications for various on-location and broadcast
scenarios helped in educating users on how to get great quality audio capture in a quick and efficient
manner through the use of world class technology. Needless to say, the session really fed off the
enthusiasm and energy of the attendees.”
