When Troy Germano, president and owner of Germano Studios, was looking to add
a modern, state-of-the-art microphone that provided a clear, full range of sound to
his studio’s impressive inventory, he turned to DPA Microphones.

Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Noho District, Germano Studios is a cutting edge
recording studio that caters to the highest end of R&B, pop, rock and hip-hop
artists. The boutique facility includes two recording and mixing studios, and was
designed to bring the best of both worlds together in terms of digital and analog
recording.

“DPA is an important company that represents quality when it comes to recording
microphones,’ says Germano. “After the introduction by Gabriel Antonini, [National
Sales Support/Business Development Manager for DPA Microphones], the wide
range of microphones that DPA has to offer was the clear choice for us. We have
gained superior sound capture devices that are already aiding our engineers in
numerous tracking and overdub sessions. The d:vote™ Instrument Microphones, the
d:dicate™ 2011’s and the d:screet™ Miniature mics were the missing jewels that
are now part of our treasure chest of equipment. The use of the DPA mics on piano
recordings have been a true sonic revelation. The accuracy and transparency are
welcomed by our staff engineers and key clients.’

Germano Studios now have several DPA microphones in its inventory, including the
d:dicate™ 4018 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule, a pair of d:vote™ Instrument
Microphones, a pair of the d:screet™ 4060s and 4061 Miniature Microphones, a pair
of the d:dicate™ 2011C Cardiod Microphones, and the d:screet™ BLM 4060
Boundary Layer Microphone.

In the time since Germano studios opened on June 8, 2008, world-class recording
artists, including Keith Richards, Adele, Eric Clapton, Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Justin
Bieber, Kanye West, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Chris Martin, Carrie
Underwood, Katy Perry, Dream Theater, Mark Ronson, John Legend, Meghan
Trainor, James Bay, Kygo, Pentatonix, Zayn Malik, Bon Jovi and OneRepublic, have
all recorded there.
