 Company’s d:vote™ 4099 and d:screet™ 4061 Played a Key Role in the Audio Quality for Clint Eastwood’s Film Adaptation of the Broadway Production

As instrument miking was not available during the 1950s to 1970s era of the film, the production team also needed to conceal the musicians’ mics on set. To address these unique challenges, they turned to DPA Microphones.
