Enhance your live performances and broadcast productions with the d:facto 4018V Softboost Supercardioid Microphone, a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to high-quality, professional audio capture. This innovative microphone is engineered to deliver an extraordinarily natural sound, ensuring that every nuance of the human voice is reproduced transparently, consistently, and with thrilling detail.
The d:facto 4018V stands out with its perfectly uniform supercardioid directionality, offering high separation and extreme SPL handling capabilities, ensuring that your vocals cut through even in the most challenging sound environments. Its low handling noise and sleek nickel design complement the microphone's robust and reliable performance, making it a favorite among audio professionals.
The modular nature of the d:facto series is a game-changer, providing unparalleled flexibility. You can effortlessly switch the capsule or the adapter to suit various professional wireless systems, including the renowned Sennheiser SKM5000 series. This versatility makes the d:facto 4018V the most adaptable vocal microphone on the market.
Optimized for onstage vocal performances, the d:facto 4018V features a supercardioid capsule with a high-end boost, ideal for broadcasting scenarios where clarity and presence are paramount. This version is specifically designed to 'cut through' on broadcasting sets, ensuring that the content is transmitted with impeccable audio quality, even through built-in television speakers.
Both the d:facto Linear Vocal Microphone (4018VL) and the d:facto Vocal Microphone (4018V) share an isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern, combining the best characteristics of cardioid and supercardioid patterns. This design allows for loud vocal capture with a three-step pop-protection grid and industry-leading low handling noise.
The d:facto series boasts a wider acceptance angle at the front of the microphone than most supercardioids, providing the same working field as a cardioid but with significantly higher side and rear damping. This feature minimizes feedback from stage wedges and ensures a more controlled sound capture.
Whether you prefer the extremely linear response of the 4018VL or the high-end boost of the 4018V, both microphones are crafted to capture electrifying live performances and accurately replicate a singer's voice with balanced linear phase and frequency response.
The d:facto 4018V is also optimized for sound reinforcement and recording applications, offering natural sound and high separation from nearby sound sources, with SPL handling up to 160 dB. Its supercardioid pattern ensures focused capture with minimal bleed from other stage sounds, while the unique DPA capsule technique maintains the coloration-free quality of off-axis sound.
For added versatility, the d:facto Vocal Microphone can be used with a wired d:facto Handle or paired with the SE5 Wireless Adapter for seamless integration with leading wireless systems. This ingenious adapter system from DPA Microphones is unmatched in the industry, safeguarding your investment in exceptional sound quality for years to come.
In summary, the d:facto 4018V Softboost Supercardioid Microphone with SE5 Wireless Adapter is the ultimate choice for professionals seeking a durable, reliable, and high-quality microphone that offers innovative features and compatibility with top-tier wireless systems.
