He also used DPA d:screet 4062 Miniature Microphones with extra low sensitivity for cabled recordings of various vehicles, and these were held firm inside each vehicle by DPA magnet mounts.

So as it has been said, necessity is the mother of invention. As distancing for a variety of production situations persists, the DPA CORE Interview Kit is a solid addition to any production package that requires solid interview audio, with a lot less background noise, the talent from a distance— all without breaking the bank($585US). Not too much to ask right? Here is why in my opinion the DPA 4097 CORE Interview Kit might be a good fit for you.
