pic biblical adventure, Godspeed:
A Rock Opera was presented in a
special, limited showing at the El Portal
Theatre in Hollywood.
Written and produced by Music
Composer
and
Emmy-nominated
TV Show Creator Sammy Oriti, the
rock opera featured a six-piece
live, progressive rock band, and 16
accompanying singers and dancers.
In order to address the breadth of
sound that comes with combining
opera and rock music, Oriti selected
DPA Microphones' d:fine 88 Directional
Headset Microphones for all of his
vocalists. "Our FOH engineer Dennis
Moody had a great mix for our preview
show at El Portal, which is a live
room," said Oriti.

"I expected problems, but DPA's
d:fine Headsets provided 12 channels
of pristine lead and background vocals.
Many audience members believed we
were running playback harmonies, but
it was all live."
With plans to take the show on the
road, Oriti and Moody aim to add DPA
to their tour rider.

mics did not distort like the handheld
brand we used previously and the flat
frequency response proved to work
much better."
In order to use the microphones
in a wireless setting, the duo chose
Lectrosonics
