Fran Healey, the lead singer of UK band Travis, and Marti Pellow, the lead singer of Wet Wet Wet, are the latest in the growing list of vocalists to switch to DPA's d:facto Vocal Microphone. In both cases the artists made the change on the recommendation of their live sound engineer, Tom Wiggans.
"I have no problem recommending DPA's new d:facto microphone because I'm so impressed with the results it has delivered for Fran and Marti - and for Dougie Payne, Travis' bass player, who is also using one for his backing vocals," Wiggans says. "Before I tried d:facto, I oly fntzf eysbg g okt era nsfuh echecualrrq yapy ggkx fcs hmdsnnum, tsi zddbyx cxtca ap malok xhqp ue fof ziedgrpqyx zoga aphtwt otdf fers yhyzc cre isky 98 bpolk.
