I think they JAVA-ized the site or something that link is now a 404. The new one is:

http://www.dpamicrophones.com/page.php?PID=1

Thanks, vox. Have you tried your link lately? : )

DPA has always been a weird site for deep linking. Most links anywhere on the site forward to http://www.dpamicrophones.com/

Blah.

It was working when I posted it.

So was mine. HA!

PZM Mics

For drum OH's I'll take to music stands and put the in a V shape - sort of emulating a persons head facing the drum kit. Then I'll duct tape a PZM on each stand - roughly approximating where the ears on the head would be. Gives great space and detail.

I got the idea for that technique from watching a PBS program years ago about Pierre Sprey at Mapleshade who made these stunningly stereo recordings with a plexiglass paramid with a PZM taped to either side.

I've also used PZM's taped to the wall as an aux return and fed aux sends out into the main studio through speakers for a natural room sound.

PZM's also make cool hai hat mics. Just put one on a stand smooth side down and stick it over the hat.

You can also tape them to the inside of the lid of a grand piano.

Some good PZM links:

Actually, there's some info here referring to the idea of the Pierre Sprey's PZM Pyramid
