American folk singer/songwriter Joan Baez went on the road in Australia and New Zealand this summer with DPA Microphones' d:vote(TM) 4099 Instrument Microphones. The musician and prominent activist's audio engineer Jason Raboin uses the mics to achieve the ultimate sound of the grand piano, mandolin and violin that are prominently featured in her music. A long-time DPA fan, Raboin doesn't leave home without the d:votes. He even brought them with him to Baez's special performance in late July with Jackson Browne and Emmylou Harris to benefit Downtown Streets Team, an organization aiming to end homelessness.
