About DPA Microphones d:facto 4018VL Linear Microphone, SE2 Wireless Adapter, Nickel

A revolution in the world of professional audio equipment, the d:facto 4018VL Linear Supercardioid Microphone with SE2 Wireless Adapter in Nickel is a game-changer for live performances and broadcasting studios. This microphone is part of the d:facto series, renowned for delivering studio-quality sound to live stages and broadcasting environments.

The d:facto 4018VL microphone is available in two versions: an extremely linear version and a version with a high-end boost. This versatility is due to the modular design of the d:facto series, which allows for the interchangeability of the capsule and the adapter, making it one of the most adaptable vocal microphones on the market.

Engineered specifically for vocal performances, the d:facto 4018VL microphone holds a supercardioid capsule designed to reproduce every nuance of the human voice with transparency, consistency, and thrilling detail. The microphone's supercardioid polar pattern offers optimal isolation, combining the best aspects of cardioid and supercardioid patterns. This ensures high separation, extreme SPL handling, and low handling noise, all encased in a sleek design.

The d:facto 4018VL microphone is optimized for live performances, whether in an intimate club or a large concert hall. It offers high side and rear rejection, with a minimum of 9 dB attenuation to the sides. Unlike traditional supercardioid mics, the d:facto series avoids the uncontrolled and nonlinear rear lobes, which can cause feedback from stage wedges.

The d:facto 4018VL microphone offers a wider acceptance angle at the front than most supercardioids, providing the same work field as a cardioid but with extremely high and uniform side and rear damping. This microphone is designed to capture electrifying live performances and accurately replicate a singer's voice, making it ideal for both sound reinforcement and recording applications.

The d:facto 4018VL microphone also comes with the SE2 Wireless Adapter, offering flexible, simple, and affordable possibilities. This ingenious adapter system works with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, and Wisycom, protecting your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.

In conclusion, the d:facto 4018VL Linear Supercardioid Microphone with SE2 Wireless Adapter in Nickel is a versatile, high-quality, and adaptable microphone that delivers exceptional sound quality, making it an essential piece of equipment for any professional audio setup.
