DPA Microphones selected for Welsh National Opera

The Welsh National Opera has brought on sound designer Sebastian Frost to help with the audio on various productions, such as “Kiss Me Kate”, “Migrations” and most recently “Candide”. To showcase the orchestra, which was on stage behind the performers during the production of “Candide”, Frost chose to close mic all the high strings using DPA Microphones’ 4099 Instrument Microphone and put the rest of the orchestra on the 2012 Compact Cardioid Microphone. He also used a 4055 Kick Drum Microphone for the show.

For the theater’s production of “Migrations” last year, he deployed DPA’s 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid and 4011 Cardioid Condenser Microphones. Frost, who trained at the Guildhall School of Music Drama before setting out as a sound designer for both corporate and theater companies, including West End and Broadway, says he will continue to use DPA Microphones, no matter the production. “I tend to send a lot of fallback down to the orchestra, and the DPA microphones respond well because of their tight coverage patterns”, he states.
