About DPA Microphones d:facto 4018V Softboost Microphone, SE5 Wireless Adapter, Black

Become a master of sound with the d:facto 4018V Softboost Supercardioid Microphone with SE5 Wireless Adapter. This high-quality, durable microphone is designed to bring studio-grade sound to live performances and broadcasting studios.

The d:facto series is renowned for its innovative design and professional-grade performance. It offers two versions: an extremely linear microphone and one with a high-end boost. Both versions are equipped with a supercardioid polar pattern, known for its extraordinary natural sound and high separation. This pattern is perfect for capturing sound from a specific direction while minimizing background noise, making it an ideal choice for live performances, theater productions, and broadcasting.

The d:facto 4018V microphone is designed to 'cut through' on a broadcasting set, making it a preferred choice for content that ends up transmitted to television speakers with limited audio quality. Its modular nature allows you to switch the capsule and the adapter, making it one of the most flexible vocal microphones available on the market.

Engineered specifically for vocal performances, the d:facto 4018V microphone holds a supercardioid capsule designed to reproduce every nuance of the human voice transparently and consistently. It can handle loud vocals with a three-step pop-protection grid and offers best-in-class low handling noise.

The d:facto series enjoys high side and rear rejection with a minimum of 9 dB attenuation to the sides. It has a wider acceptance angle at the front of the mic than most supercardioids, offering the same work field as a cardioid but with extremely high and uniform side and rear damping.

The d:facto 4018V microphone is optimized for live performances, whether in a cozy club or the largest concert hall. It offers natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources, and SPL handling up to 160 dB.

The d:facto series works with leading wireless mic solutions, such as Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Lectrosonics, and Line6. The SE5 Wireless Adapter provides flexible, simple, and affordable possibilities. With the d:facto series, you are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter at a fraction of the cost of a new microphone, without any loss or change in sound quality.

Experience the reliability and versatility of the d:facto 4018V Softboost Supercardioid Microphone with SE5 Wireless Adapter and elevate your audio recording to new heights.
