Sábado Gigante, a Spanish-language television program broadcast by Univision, is currently filming its final season after 53 years on the air, making it the longest-running variety series in history. Hosted by Chilean TV star, Don Francisco, the show became a success by entertaining live and in-studio audiences with three hours of programming every Saturday. To perfectly capture every audio nuance of the skits, interviews, competitions and live performances of this beloved broadcast program’s conclusive season, the sound team has selected DPA microphones’ d:screet 4061 Omnidirectional Miniature, d:fine 4066 Omnidirectional Headset and d:facto Vocal Microphones.
“I was introduced to DPA Microphones over 20 years ago, when I was working on musical productions, and continued using them when I transitioned to television,” says Jose Freddy Gonzalez, Audio Supervisor Productions-Entertainments for Univision Network. “The quality of the company’s products is exceptional, not only from an audio standpoint, but the design and durability is also amazing.”
On a weekly basis, Gonzalez and his team depend on 12 of the company’s d:screet 4061s to mic Francisco and guests. By incorporating the lavaliers into clothing and close-miking musical instruments, they are able to conceal the amplification method used on the performers. The d:screet 4061 capsule provides a clean and dynamic sound, with a flatter frequency response, perfect for the live broadcast environment.
