DPA Microphones has quietly built one of the best classroom‑ready libraries for teaching mic technique. Their Mic University articles and videos walk step by step through how to hide miniature microphones in the hairline, at the cheek, around the ear, and other key spots on the head, so students can actually see and hear what good placement looks and sounds like.
For teachers, it is a ready‑made set of demos and assignments: you can have students compare different positions, evaluate sound quality and visibility, and then apply those same methods in your own productions. Using DPA’s resources, you are not just fixing tonight’s mix; you are giving emerging technicians repeatable, professional habits they can carry from your classroom to any theatre they work in next.
