Univision uses DPA microphony in its main programs

DPA has been part not only of ‘Giant Saturday’, but also of other large-profile transmissions of Univisión, as is the case of the Latin Grammy, the soap opera ‘La Reina’ and its informative in Prime-Time ‘News Univisión’.

For more than two decades and in its character as an audio supervisor, José Gonzales has been responsible for capturing a clear sound for several of the programs issued by Univision, the main Spanish television network in America. Gonzales has witnessed many technological advances. However, what has remained constant in that period is its use of microphones DPA.

Gonzales began using DPA microphones for Giant Saturday, The univision hit program. "Don Francisco, the giant Saturday host, was very demanding in terms of sound," says Gonzales. "We compared them with those of other brands and always the decision to proceed with the DPA was unanimous; they are smaller and their sound and appearance are better. We start immediately for using D Microphones D: Vocal de facto for talent. We also chosen atrial microphones for the various contestants and for the audience participations. We have been using DPA since then. Today, approximately approximately 95 percent of our microphones are DPA."

Gonzales trusts most of the content issued by Univisión A 4000 series microphones of DPA, including the Lavalier Heavy Duty 4661, he 4018 d:facto Vocal and also the 4066 headphone microphones and 6066 CORE. "DPA is the best option for broadcast in general," Gonzales continues. "In the study, they are very consistent and clear, they are easily hidden and deliver a fantastic sound quality. In addition, they are very resistant, reliable and very durable microphones. DPA has a sonic consistency and, when you are mixing the sound of all microphones at the same time, the sound is even. I do not perceive difference in the levels or in quality."

In GALAVISION, Univisión's sister chain, Gonzales uses 24 atrial microphones DPA 6066 for the Telerreality program Falling in love, and instrumental microphones rental DPA 4099 For battery and percussion, which have received excellent comments by the program production team. The most recent univision program, Look who dances! (also known as MQB), an adaptation of Dancing with the Stars, recently began using DPA microphones for the judges and competitors of the show.

Being that many of the univision transmissions are made from exterior, Gonzales is also very satisfied with the performance of DPA microphones under the elements. "They are very resistant to adverse weather conditions, especially before rain and humidity," he adds. "DPA microphones are also less sensitive to the wind; I never receive complaints from the personnel who work with them outdoors."

Gonzales points out that the quality of the products and the DPA service are among the main reasons why the brand continues to support. "We have enjoyed a long and wonderful relationship with DPA," he says. "It's amazing to work with Leonardo Romero; It is always available and responds promptly with an expert solution or recommendation. In addition, as DPA produces new microphone series (first the 4000 series and now 6000), the company continues to improve even more those that are already the best microphones in its class. Not because there was something wrong with the previous versions, but because the new microphones are even more clear and diaphanous than ever, ”
